Can states allow providers to use "non-filer" tax rules to determine household composition for hospital PE?

Yes. A reasonable and simplified way of determining household composition for purposes of determining presumptive eligibility, including under hospital PE, would be to apply the rules for individuals who do not file taxes (i.e. the non-filer rules) as described at 42 CFR 435.603(f).
