Is this now an automatic block in NCAA men?

Unless it has recently changed, FIBA rules allow anyone to touch the ball after it hits the rim, whether it is in or out of the cylinder. The key is it has to hit the rim first.

and the ball can not be in contact with the rim when it is touched. Like eg-italy said no cylinder in FIBA

Not at all. Once the ball has touched the ring it is playable by everybody.

31.2.3 The goal tending restrictions apply until:
• The ball no longer has the possibility of entering the basket during the shot.
• The ball has touched the ring.

However

31.2.4 Interference occurs during a shot for a field goal when:
• A player touches the basket or the backboard while the ball is in contact with the ring.
• A player reaches through the basket from below and touches the ball. This is valid also on a pass and also after the ball has touched the ring.
• A defensive player touches the ball or the basket while the ball is within the basket and it prevents the ball from passing through the basket.
