The California DMV only requires it for cars that are being operated by Waymo under the testing permit. Any car carrying a paid passenger does not require those same reports.
As an example, a Waymo ran a red light and caused a moped to crash in January ("due to remote ops"), and there is no DMV report for it but there is a completely redacted NHTSA report for it.

For the new cases they are investigating, all but one of these went unreported to the NHTSA, otherwise they would provide the incident number in the letter they sent (as they do for the pole collision they mention).
