You are positively correct.

And what would you have if B2, defending A2, intercepts the pass from A1?

Whack! And a delay of game warning.

Billy's comment is correct because the pass from A1 to A2 in this case is not a THROW-IN pass. The throw-in pass is directed onto the court. So a pass that touches out of bounds before going onto the court is illegal; the pass between teammates that stays completely out of bounds is legal.
