Yes - and you are interpreting it correctly, too. To legally have a timeout granted, the ball must either be in player control or at the disposal of a player or be dead ( the ball, not the player
)
There is team, but not player control during a pass. For there to be player control, a player must be either dribbling or holding a live ball inbounds.
