What I do not believe is that he can jump forward beyond the boundary line such that no part of his body is over the OOB area of the throw-in spot prior to releasing the ball on the throw-in pass.
The wording that you note is there to clarify that the thrower can back up and then return forward again if desired. It does not state that he can jump over the line.
