Technically, yes. The dribble starts the moment it is released. If it is a dribble, it is a violation at that moment.

However, in practice, until someone again touches it, you can't know if it was a pass (touched by a different player) or a dribble (touched by the same player). Once the same player touches it again, it confirms that it was a dribble but the violation actually occurred when the ball was released.
