I hope these references help

Rule 5 Sec 2 Art 1
A successful try, tap or thrown ball from the field by a player is located behind the team's own 19-foot, 9-inch arc counts three points. A ball that touches the floor, a teammate inside the arc, an official, or any other goal from the field counts two points for the team whose basket the ball is thrown. See 4-5-4

So it does not matter if you consider it a shot or not!

To assist with player location:

Rule 4 Sec 35 Art 1
The location of a player or nonplayer is determined by where the player is touching the floor.

Rule 4 Sec 35 Art 3
The location of an airborne player with reference to the three factors of Article 1 is the same as at the time such player was last in contact with the floor or an extension of the floor, such as a bleacher.
