It's only a violation if A3 is the first to touch the ball after it gains backcourt status. By your own description, A3 touches the ball at the exact moment that it gains backcourt status. Therefore, A3 did not touch it before it had backcourt status. "At the same time" is not equivalent to "before".

Check, you'd better read this play again.
This is a BC violation. There's nothing in the play that says the ball was touched by anyone except Team A.
