Hi Henrique,
The RDKit isn't actually adding Hs here, it just recognizes that the P
atoms have implicit Hs on them and then when drawing the molecule shows
those implicit Hs.
If you would like to draw some atoms without showing the implicit Hs, you
can explicitly set the atom labels to be used by setting the "atomLabel"
property on some/all atoms.
To change all the atoms you can do this:
for atom in m.GetAtoms():
atom.SetProp("atomLabel",atom.GetSymbol())
which results in the following rendering for your molecule:

Here's a complete gist for that:

I hope this helps,
-greg
