Sure it does. In this play, had an official stopped the clock prior to B scoring for any reason, including the possible correction of an error, the error would have to be corrected during that dead ball.

Let's say the official stops the clock, asked the scorer if the shooter should have gotten another shot and the scorer said no. B inbounds the ball, scores, the ball becomes dead and not A has the ball. Now the scorer realizes there should have been another shot. It's too late to correct the error.
