To reset the situation:

A1 (not being guarded) is standing 5 feet beyond the 3pt arc (both feet on the floor) ready to receive a pass so he can attempt a 3pt shoot.

A2 while in the front court passes the ball to A1.

A1 catches the ball (still with both feet on the floor). Without dribbling he takes a giant step forward with right foot then brings his left foot forward so that both feet are on the floor then he shoots the ball.

Is this traveling?

What if after he received the pass from A2 bounced the ball once before he took the giant step forward. Does this make any difference?

Thanks in advance

Yes. No.

In both cases the pivot foot retouched the floor while the player was holding the ball.
