The restraining line IS the OOB line for everyone until the throwin ends.

No teammate of the thrower can be across that line before the ball is released on the throw-in. The ball must cross the line before a teammate of the thrower can touch the ball.

So, if the player in the air caught the ball on the inbounds side of the temporary restraining line, it was a legal play. The line disappeared when they caught the ball. If they were on the OOB side of the temporary restraining line when they caught the ball, they committed a throwin violation.
