You are correct that the issue is the trajectory itself, and not whether the ball hits the rim. The point is that the trajectory from (about) the spot the ball was released might be (barely) legal if it results in the ball hitting the rim and (barely) illegal if it goes straight through.
It looks to me as if it's legal, but I'm not sure we can really tell (and no, I didn't do a frame-by-frame analysis).
