I know it's against the rules to can bait newbies in the starter systems like Cistuvaert and Kisogo, but what about the career systems like Akiainavas, Pasha, and Trossere?

Not automatically forbidden, I guess it would depend on the GM investigating the situation. I'd probably expect at most a warning though, or maybe just a "strong suggestion", not a ban.

I'm pretty sure I remember them changing it to can baiting in any 1.0 system was a bannable offense....they need the new paying customers to get addicted to the game before you try to chase them off....purely a business model decision and actually a smart one if you like the game and want it to stay around. Scaring off brand new players is the fastest way to failscade for a MMO.
"can baiting" being jettisoning a can by a station and naming it "free loot" or some such.

No. They never changed that. The only thing sure is that doing it in the starter systems is a no no. Extending that to the career systems would be reasonable, as most players are still just a few days old when getting there.
Scaring them off at the very first day is not good, but hiding what Eve actually is for too long will not keep them longer and may even be counterproductive.

I'm certain that they really care about the starter systems, like Duripant. That I am sure of as I am aware of people who were doing things there the GM's didn't like and that the GM's did something about it.
However ... I've spent some time in the career systems ... and heard numerous people complaining in local - warning others - about specific people can baiting/flipping - with the can baiters friends laughing about it in local. That situation wouldn't exist if the GM's were protecting those systems. Of course things could have changed - but not that I'm aware of.
