There is a time during a dribble that the ball is not actually touching a player. This, of course, being during the time it takes from the ball to leave the players hand and fall to the floor, plus the time taken for the ball to rebound off the floor back to the players hand.
I believe what this note is trying to get across is that if a player--while dribbling--steps on the line or OOB during the time I mentioned above, they are OOB. I don't believe that note is intended to address the time that a player does not either have control or not dribbling.
