I am under the assumption (probably because that is how we always do it) that if the line is on the floor, you use it. No player, A or B, is allowed in that area 9except for the inbounder). It is there to allow room for the throw in. It takes the place of the out of bounds line. Once the throw in is complete i.e. the ball being released from the thrower and crossing the plane, the line 'disappears' (for lack of a better word) and the normal boundary lines are used.
