It is, of course, a violation if the ball fails to touch the rim during a FT. The references to "rim or backboard" are to when the restrictions end for the players along the lane. They can enter the lane when the ball hits the backboard, even if it hasn't hit the rim yet.
glad you reiterated that last point; yet, we occasionally hear officials incorrectly warn the players along the lane: "wait 'til it hits the rim"
