Yes it would negate the travel. Throwing the ball off of the other players shoulder allows him to go get it, start another dribble etc.
In the video the player jumps to shoot and simply drops the ball. At this moment there is nothing to call. When he catches it first the drop is considered a dribble. Illegal to start a dribble with pivot foot in air.
