Traditionally the phosphite ion is HPO32-, and it is found in salts of the acid HP(OH)2 traditionally called phosphorous acid, which contains 2 ionizable and 1 non ionizable H (it is bonded to P). As it has two ionizable hydrogens it can form salts which contain HPO(OH)- ions, traditionally named hydrogenphosphite ion.
However IUPAC naming has now decreed that the phosphite ion is PO32-, which is fine except that the ion is not yet known to exist! Anything you see labeled "phosphite" will contain HPO22-., which IUPAC name hydrogenphosphite.
IUPAC have named the HPO(OH)- ion as dihydrogenphosphite. I am afraid that all of these names are in use, it is really confusing.

What is the chemical formula for gold phosphite?
Well, we know that the polyatomic ion phosphate has the formula PO4^3- The suffix "ite" tells us that we take one oxygen atom. So phosphite is PO3^3- Since the charge of phosphite is negative three, we need 3 gold ions to create a neutral ionic compound. So, the chemical formula for gold phosphite is Au3PO3
