I suspect it falls under their don't modify / inject core exe and dll files policy... I would tread lightly with modified dlls and V.A.C.

There was the HL1 bloom mod (just a dll you put in the game directory) that caused a VAC ban. Apparently modifying the graphics dll can be seen as cheating ( maybe wallhacks can be done that way in fps games, I don't really know).

That being said, this is supposed to be a mod friendly game and I would hope that they would not classify it as cheating.
