Since the side of the backboard is in-bounds, this is legal, right?

If the throw-in grazed the backboard then went more behind the backboard than in-front of the back board, then imo, the ball hit the back of the backboard. Your description doesn't sound like a violation.

Excellent point. I will amend my post by appending your post.
