That is the right conclusion, but for slightly imprecise reasoning.
The timeframe for correction is prior to the second live ball AFTER the clock has properly started. Therefore, the ball being made live for the second FT attempt is not actually a factor. (Because the game could be halted at this point by an official without impacting the correctable error timeframe.) What is important is that the ball remains live when the second FT attempt is missed and that the clock starts upon the tap by A2. This is the point at which the correctable error timeframe begins. Since the live ball now passes through the basket for a goal it becomes dead and the error must be fixed at this moment. As you note, once the ball is deemed to be at the disposal of Team B for a throw-in and becomes live again, it is too late to correct the error of awarding unmerited FTs.
