I worked five games today, so my brain was a little frazzled by the end, so bear with me. In the last game, A1 threw a pass toward the sideline and while it was heading out of bounds, A's coach calls time out. I said you can't have time out, the ball's not in your team's possession while it's in the air. But once it went out, it was B's ball and now you can have time out.
Did I get that right? I thought a loose ball wasn't in anyone's possession, or is it still in possession of the last team to possess it?

You got the call right, but not the terminology. Team A still had team control in your case (while the ball was in the air during the pass), but they did not have PLAYER control. An official should not grant a time-out unless there is player control or the ball is dead.
