It's more than that since we can clearly see Tobi jumping down to teleport Karin away.

her exclamation mark above the head was triggered by the fact that she felt or heard Tobi falling behind her or by him simply touching her. Immediately afterwards she's being teleported, so imo - y, he needs to touch them and anime was just sloppy on this detail.
