The location of the ball is only relative if the receiver touches the ball while he is OOB. Then it becomes an issue of whether the ball had broken the sideline plane when it was touched.

In this play, the airborne player who touches the ball is inbounds, because he left the ground inbounds and has not yet touched OOB.

kdf5 is correct.
