Basically correct, but could be misinterpreted. There must be team control, and the ball must have frontcourt status; but Team A doesn't have to be holding or passing the ball in the frontcourt.

If A1 is holding the ball in the backcourt and then bounces it into the frontcourt with enough backspin that it comes back to him in the backcourt, that would be a violation; even tho no member of Team A "had" the ball in the frontcourt.
