Good point. If it's during a designated spot throw-in, then it's a violation as soon as the player steps OOB to go around the screen. If the ball has inbound status, then it's a violation when the player is the first to touch the ball after returning inbounds.
The question doesn't say what kind of violation it is; only that it's a violation. So either way, I think the answer is that the official is correct.
