No travel violation since his momentum caused the roll, but what about the back court violation. Does momentum prevent this as well?

No, his momentum didn't prevent the player from going into the backcourt; it caused the player to go into his backcourt. That's why it's a backcout violation.
This isn't the exception where the player gaining control in the air on a throw-in is allowed a normal landing into the backcourt.
