The first A line is quite awkward. Who wrote that? It really shouldn't be two sentences - perhaps a semicolon instead?
I would say that it was more a contraction of 'Has he taught you?'

A more correct version of this conversation would be:
A: "The idea was to learn something about infection and have him teach me"
B: "Has he?"
A: "In a way"
And yes "Has he?" is more of a contraction of "Has he taught you?" which you could also say.
