Yes, esophageal strictures are not an uncommon thing and can happen for a variety of reasons. This could have happened due to vomiting during the Parvo infection, or possibly medication given during the treatment. It appears that your vet is on to a definitive diagnosis here - what you described would definitely fit with esophageal stricture and I'm sure the scope will give some more info. I hope that helps and Boo bear gets better soon.
