I always thought it was just the electrified equipment on the pool pad that needed to be bonded (e.g. pumps, heaters, blowers, panels), and these are always supplied with bonding lugs. I have a stainless DE filter and I don't see any supplied bonding lug on it, which fits with my theory. I too would like to hear an expert's understanding of this.
Your rebar in the decking, ladders, etc are typically bonded also.

Correct, but that would be the deck, etc, next to the pool water. I think the bonding requirement extends to either 3 or 5 feet from the water. I haven't heard anything about bonding of the pool pad rebar, etc. I was describing the equipment at the pool pad, which would (by code) not be right next to the pool. So, the quandary is really the need for bonding of various pieces of equipment on the equipment pad in contact with the water via plumbing.
