The real question is when A1 passes the ball and it touches in the backcourt, does this give it back court status???

Is this a trick question?  When the ball touches the backcourt (when the pass bounces off the floor), it's touching the floor, thereby giving it backcourt status.

It sounds like it
But the meaning is IMO that if the ball were to be at rest in backcourt and then touched by a player it has back court status. They differentiate this as a passed ball into the back court to a player in the backcourt will have backcourt status as soon as it touches that player even though it has never touched the floor in the backcourt
