It should be x = a.MyClass(a, b), and makes an error (because there is no MyClass in a), the correct way to write it:

local x = (a:MyClass)(b:MyAnotherClass)

It's just like "foo":format() is an error, you must write ("foo"):format()

and, you want call a as a function? why you need type annotation in this case?

 Because it's a common practice to construct a new instance by invoking its class having __call metamethod.
   local inst = Class()
is often the same as
   local inst = Class.new()
