I wouldn't call that a barge pass. An opening was given and the guy in P3 took advantage of it. If P2 had held his line instead of going wide, there is no opportunity for the pass to be made there. I take that same shot if I'm racing every single time (and I did a bunch in Race C last night).
There was no overlap heading into the braking zone. It's a classic barge pass. Barge passing is weird though. If you can make the pass without hitting anyone you're the next Sebastian Vettel. Touch anybody and you'll get a warning or a penalty. On paper though, the FIA is very specific about how corner rights work based upon car overlap.
