The definition explicity states that the LOW GOALS are part of the field, thus contacting them would NOT be breaking the field.
However, the MIDDLE GOALS and HIGH GOALS are NOT included in this definition, (and they DO exist in the glossary) so by this definition, if your robot touched ANY part of the goal, it would be a penalty per G12.
You should ask the Q&A for further clarification.

They include LOW GOALS and FEEDER STATIONS as boundaries of the field because they cut off an angle between the ALLIANCE WALLS and GUARDRAILS. If you reach through a hole in one of the boundaries, or reach over, you can't touch anything outside that boundary.
