Maybe I'm being a bit too technical, and I don't know what the other two violations are, but that says "failure to PROVIDE condoms or other protective equipment," which isn't necessarily being fined for not using them in the film. So, technically, as long as condoms were made available on set, it seems to me that Hustler would have been ok if it was the performers who chose not to use them.
Just set a basket of condoms out for decoration if you're shooting.
