Well, that simply appears to not be true, given the example of spells that allow ranged touch attacks.

Ranged Touch Spells in Combat: Some spells allow you to make a ranged touch attack as part of the casting of the spell. These attacks are made as part of the spell and do not require a separate action. Ranged touch attacks provoke an attack of opportunity, even if the spell that causes the attacks was cast defensively. Unless otherwise noted, ranged touch attacks cannot be held until a later turn (see FAQ below for more information.)

What you're saying implies that only spells that include ranged touch attacks count as making ranged attacks, which I can find nothing at all supporting.

A ray spell allow you to make ranged touch attacks as part of the spell, Telekinesis (violent thrust) allows you to make ranged attacks as part of the spell. If the ranged touch attack made as part of a ray spell counts as a ranged attack that provokes an AoO independent of the casting provocation, then it follows that Telekinesis (violent thrust) would too.

Edit: To be clear, I actually hope what you're saying is correct, as I like HotA (I play a lot of games that don't go higher than lvl 4-6). I'm just not seeing it.

It isn't a ranged touch attack though, its just a ranged attack that was the result of SU ability. IMO, it is an innate supernatural ability meaning it would not prove an AoO. Even if it was a ranged touch attack the action came from an SU and not a spell.
