The short answer is yes.
The explanation is longer.
Once the "pass" hits the floor it is just a long dribble. The player who threw it, A2, may go get it. If A2 grabs the ball with two hands upon reaching it, he has ended his dribble and may not start another one. If upon reaching the ball A2 continues the dribble by using only one hand, this is legal.
If A2 had already dribbled before throwing this pass then his retrieving it would be a double dribble violation.
If A2's "pass" doesn't hit the floor and A2 is able to run over and catch it that is an illegal dribble violation.
