The rules clearly state that it is an indirect free kick if a GK touches the ball directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate. However if, for example, after the throw-in by a team-mate, the ball accidentally touches the back of the head of another team-mate and is then touched by the GK, would this still constitute a violation punishable by an indirect free kick?

No. "Directly."
If a teammate is the intervening touch, you would also need to consider whether it was deliberately kicked to the GK, but that isn't your scenario.
(We could also go down a rabbit hole of whether trickery could be involved, but don't waste your time on that--the likelihood of seeing these scenarios is pretty small. Ever since the rule came in, I don't recall ever seeing a TI to GK issue in a game--only on tests.)

I think we all know a/he meant handles or the generic (not the LOTG) meaning of thouch, that is you use your hand to touch things. But what is a referee forum without a bit of pedantry
