*sigh* Ok, I hate repeating myself, especially when you retort with a point I made myself

In other word, regardless of his level he MUST HAVE an esper power but it's constantly erased by IB. Thus he's an esper but just can't use his ability.
An example if you don't get it yet, just because it's night doesn't mean that the sun died, does it? So can you say that Touma's not an esper because his power is constantly erased by IB?
*sigh* You're the one who doesn't get it. To begin with, what I "retorted" with is not the same point you made. I'll put it in a easier way to understand:

There's no guarantee that the curriculum worked on Touma, you're just assuming it did when there's no confirmation. The IB could have messed the "esperification" process itself.

So no, it's not safe to say that he can produce AIM.
