This is on the National Visa Center website. So different from the USCIS but wondering if this is the same for the USCIS I-129f policy as well for submitting court certified documents?

When in doubt,   consult the official Form I-129F instructions:

Part 3. Other Information

Item Numbers 1. - 3.c. Criminal Information. Indicate whether you have ever been the subject of a temporary or permanent protection order or restraining order (either civil or criminal) related to any of the crimes specified below, or arrested, or convicted of any of the crimes specified below. If you were ever arrested or convicted of any of the specified crimes, you must submit certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and disposition for every arrest or conviction. You must do so even if your records were sealed, expunged, or otherwise cleared, and regardless of whether anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, informed you that you no longer have a criminal record.

1. Specified Crimes

1. Convictions for domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse or child neglect, dating violence, elder abuse, and

   stalking or an attempt to commit any such crime:

   NOTE: The term “domestic violence” includes felony or misdemeanor crime of violence committed by a person.

   1. (1)  Who is a current or former spouse of the victim;

   2. (2)  With whom the victim shares a child in common;

   3. (3)  Who is cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim;

   4. (4)  Who is similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the relevant jurisdiction; or

   5. (5)  Against whom the victim is protected under the jurisdiction’s domestic or family violence laws.

2. Convictions for homicide, murder, manslaughter, rape, abusive sexual contact, sexual exploitation, incest, torture, trafficking, peonage, holding hostage, involuntary servitude, slave trade, kidnapping, abduction, unlawful criminal restraint, false imprisonment, or an attempt to commit any of these crimes.

3. At least three convictions for crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol not arising from a single act.

4. Disclosure of criminal history to beneficiary. If your petition is approved, USCIS will provide a copy of your petition, including the information you submit regarding any protection or restraining orders or criminal history to DOS
   for distribution to the beneficiary of your petition. USCIS also will provide to DOS any criminal background information discovered independently while adjudicating this petition for disclosure to your beneficiary.

NOTE: The name and contact information of any person who was granted a protection or restraining order against you, or of any victim of a crime of violence you perpetrated, will remain confidential. However, DOS will disclose your relationship to this person or victim (for example, spouse, parent, former spouse) to the beneficiary.

Item Number 4.a. Criminal Information. Indicate whether you have ever been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance in any country, for any offenses other than those you have already outlined in the previous section. Unless a traffic incident was alcohol- or drug-related or involved a fine of $500 or more, you do not need to provide information on it.

Item Number 4.b. Criminal History Documents. If you indicated “Yes” in Item Number 4.a., provide information that explains the circumstances, places, dates, and outcomes for each incident of arrest, citation, charge, indictment, conviction, fine, or imprisonment. You must submit court certified copies of the arrest record and/or disposition for each incident unless you submit a certified statement from the court indicating that no record exists of your arrest, citation, charge, indictment, conviction, fine, or imprisonment.

If you need extra space to complete this section, use the space provided in Part 8. Additional Information.

So, its saying that you need to send in the court certified copies of the documents in the I-129f application? not photocopies of the court certified copies?

The official instructions for Form I-129F, that I referenced and included a cut and paste quote of those referenced pages seem pretty clear. Check out the link and read the instructions yourself and what do they say?
