Some have cited the cultural norm being the main reason like you mentioned, but I think it doesn't really hold if you examine what happened in the later episodes.
If the source is right, however, and Kubo-sensei's tweet indeed heavily implies that the kiss is in fact, canon, then I don't think censorship is really much of an issue here. I'm a complete novice at Japanese, so the reliability of this source completely hinges on the OP's translation. There's a post on tumblr here that cites Kubo-sensei's tweet as an 'official' confirmation of the kiss. Victor's arm is probably there to protect their own private moment together instead of it being due to censorship reasons. I'm a little late to the party, but I think it might be more of an artistic choice than anything else.
