So basically, that punt that bounces on the 3-yard line into the air, crossing the goal line, and is batted backward and recovered by a member of the kicking team on the 1 is a touchback, not downed at the 1.

Rule 6-3-11 covers this case.
So yes, team-B will take over at the 20 since team-A downed the kick at the one after committing a touching violation over the EZ.
