OOTP uses the more general definition of "turning" as evidenced by the fact that the manual specifically mentions that this affects pitchers and catchers as well.
What you are talking about is more specifically called "pivoting."
Obviously that is key for 2B/SS and all DP turning is more important at those positions. But 1Bs have some of the most difficult DPs in baseball.
