ART. 3 . . . Team control continues until:
a. The ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal.
b. An opponent secures control.
c. The ball becomes dead.

Yes, team control still continues for
foul purposes even when the TI pass is deflected. But the TI ended on that deflection, so saying "Team A is in control during this throw in" is, in this context, inaccurate as a justification for the ruling.
Team control for violation purposes does not begin until a player obtains control inbounds.
