I think the OBR rule is that the leap into the air by the fielder must originate with both feet in live ball territory, so technically a fielder (if he is very close to the DBT line) could make the catch with his entire body over DBT and still get an out on the catch.

If he hasn't hit the grouind yet - yes.
