Not exactly. Air conditioning removes moisture from the air (so it can be very humid outside, but not inside). Removing moisture from the air contributes to dry mouth. If you are a mouth breather, you will also dry out your mouth. The dryness of room air, along with dryness from mouth breathing, can cause sore throats--especially in the morning.

Can a fan blowing in a right ear for a few hours cause a sore throat in the right side of the throat?

As a matter of fact, yes it can! The way the head develops as a foetus means that pain from the ear can be referred to the throat and vice versa. If the fan blew cold air into the ear for some time and irritated pain receptors there, your brain may interpret it as a sore throat. Of course, it could also be a coincidence, and you may just have a sore throat from a viral infection.

Sore throat may also be caused by inflammation or infection of the surrounding tissues (such as the tonsils or adenoids) and rarely more acute problems such as Peritonsillar abscess or Epiglottitis.
