Does the rule apply for players entering the court as it does for players leaving the court?
Thanks.

You're close. A1 cannot reenter until the clock has properly run. The distinction is important because the ball becomes live and dead again all the time without the clock running.
To answer your question, A2 can be subbed out at any point. There is no similar requirement that players must play through any clock time.
