If you want to apply the exception to a player that gets the ball AFTER the initial touch was made by another player, hey, go for it.
The throw-in exception is for the offense, Team A. This case play deals with Team A. Team B, the defensive team, has its own exception, which is in effect all the time, not just on a throw-in.

That is my take. I don't see anything in the book which disproves it.
