As far as I know, the bank took title to the property "subject to" the HOA bylaws so responsibility for payment goes with the title. The assignment of title to the bank should be a good defense to a lawsuit by the HOA. But it is best to avoid being sued in the first place. Have you spoken to the HOA about this? Have you sent them a copy of the assignment of title? It seems the association might be more interested in suing the bank for the unpaid dues rather than you because if they win, there would be no issue of being able to collect the judgment.
