The rule says supported. What that means is that there has to be something there. Whether it's just backing or goes to fastening will depend on a number of other items, including what is in the middle of the bumper. If there was a longish gap, for instance, I would expect some fastening in that last inch. If it were solid, I would probably not expect fastening in the last inch.

If your bumper can move away from the frame with little effort, it probably isn't secure enough.
