It's only similar to the NBA in that a team in control of the can't be the last to touch the ball in the frontcourt and the first to touch the ball in the backcourt. This is pretty much the same as NFHS (American (for the most part) high school rules) and NCAA rules.
Where it'll be different in the NBA is that team control ends on a defensive deflection. Team control does not end on a simple deflection by the defense under FIBA/NFHS/NCAA rules.
So if a defensive player deflects a ball off an offensive player, while his team has control of the ball in the frontcourt (team control continues while a team is passing the ball and only ends if the ball becomes dead, there's a shot attempt, or the other team gets the ball), and the offense is the first to touch the ball in the backcourt, it would be a violation under NCAA/NFHS, and I'm 90 percent sure under FIBA rules. Under NBA rules, since team control ends on a defensive deflection, there would be no violation.
