The answer to the original question is simple. Is 2♥ forcing in SAYC? Yes, it is.

The secondary question: should 2♥ be forcing, or is nonforcing a better treatment? Is up for discussion.

But on the actual hand, does it matter? Is not passing out 2♣ a better choice regardless? Perhaps east feared that west is one of those players who will rebid a five card suit for no good reason, but that is no excuse in a teaching setting.
Life is long and beautiful, if bad things happen, good things will follow.
