The referee calls a technichal foul on Team A, because its policy that anything thrown on the court is a technichal on the home team.

Is this fair?
Unless there is a specific policy in your area, the Tech should have been assessed to Team B.
Rule 2-8 ART 1. The Officials' additional duties include penalizing unsporting conduct by any player, coach, substitute, team attendant or follower.

Would I have assessed a Tech?

Nope.
I would have asked Game Management to remove the fan.
