Yes. Same case if A1 is dribbling the ball. I suppose they could have used some different wording such as "next person to touch the ball", but this is comparable to the wording used by several sports at several levels.

If A3 goes out of bounds and comes back in, then the ball can't be directly passed to A3, nor can A3 be the first to touch the ball if it's fumbled, etc. Another player must touch the ball first.
