That's how the argument goes, yes. And, to clarify, this should be a violation on the "defense" if it's a violation on the "offense," because there's no defined "defense" if there's no team control.
Also, if A2 gains control of the ball and throws it before landing, then you'd have an easy violation on A3 once he lands in the BC. Likewise, if A2 gains control airborne under the allowance, he's allowed to land but he cannot pass to any teammate in the backcourt until he lands.
