Not really. The rule has a quantifier that notes it is when a coach or bench/dugout personnel request and is granted time. That did not happen in this case

In the scenario being debated, which team asked for time out? Which team did not? Which one of those meets the charged conference definition?
Being granted time doesn't make a conference. In this case, there was no charged conference to be had.
