Yes. When a player gains possession of the ball while in the air and does not land on both feet simultaneously, then the first foot down is considered to be the pivot foot.

Thank you.
Can you explain why the jump-stop move isn't a traveling violation?

A
moving, or
dribbling, player is
allowed to gather the ball with one foot on the floor and then jump (often splitting two opponents and other times just getting past a single opponent with a *Mother-may-I* leap) and land simultaneously on both feet, from that landing the player may not have a pivot foot.
