Practically, colliding objects are not rigid, but elastic (thats how the term elastic collision appears). They would deform (change in shape) under a compressive force when colliding with one another. When the two objects are first in contact, the resistance force due to deformation causes the incident object (object A) to deccelerate and the object at rest (object B) to accelerate. This force continues to act after maximum compression between the two objects is reached and the objects return (rebound) to their original shapes. This is similar to the situation that a spring is first compressed and then released. In fact, you could imagine the collision as if there is a spring between the two colliding objects.
At the time when the velocities of the two objects are equal, they are still under a state of deformation and have not returned fully to their original shapes yet. As such, an elastic force exist and continues to accelerate object B (and decelerate object A too) until it completely returns to its original shape and leaves object A.
Regarding the case of hovercraft, the air-bags just lengthen the time of impact, hence reducing the impact force with the same change of momentum. It functions like the safety air-bag installed before the driver and the front-seat passenger in a motor car.
