No. The guidance from the US DOT is quite clear, and unambiguous in this particular case, since you were staying in the same class of service the whole way and your ultimate ticketed destination was a US point (SFO). Even if they made some sort of argument that your outbound fare actually ended at YYZ, which would be contrary to common usage... AC's baggage fee on this itinerary is $100 for a second bag. $200 doesn't appear in their chart for this itinerary at all.

$200 total would have been correct, but they shouldn't have charged you for the second leg when checking in for the first.
