On whether or not Topps got Johnny Jeter during his camp-only stay with Baltimore, I honestly can't say. I don't recall whether I ever looked at the Jeter Topps file or not - there was probably nothing I was looking for to answer the several hundred questions I had about the history of Topps photography that was likely to have been answered by its contents.

However, Topps was very good about capturing those Rule 5 guys of the mid-'60s (especially in 1964, when they must have shot at least 100 of them, nearly all of whom would never appear in the majors), so I wouldn't be surprised.

As evidenced below, this much is certain: The Baltimore Sun got Jeter in '65:
