No, Dan, although it sort of sounds that way. The difference is that in the case of the kicked ball, the violation occured before the ball was legally toched inbounds. In the case of the ball knocked OOB, the ball was legally touched and then went OOB.

Do NOT confuse this issue with when the throw-in ends (4-41-5). But for this particular situation, the determining factor is whether the violation (or foul) occured before or after the ball was legally touched.
And by way of example, if B1 tips the throw-in and B2 then kicks the tipped ball A would not retain the right to run the endline. This is similar in effect to B1 tipping the ball OOB on the throw-in.
