If, in the act of a legal throw or feint, the pivot foot naturally comes off the rubber, the pitcher has legally disengaged. Thus any throw into DBT after this would indeed result in a two-base award.
(The only exception is on a jump turn, in which the pitcher jumps up, turns, and lands on or near the rubber. For this act, he is considered to still be on the rubber. This fact, though, is irrelevant to the current situation.)
