A320: Hyd G + Y system low pressure

I am still learning this machine....
I was going through the HYD G + Y LO PR SUMMARY in the eQRH and got stuck at this:

When in CONF3 and VAPP:
Stabilize at VAPP before L/G down, to be trimmed for approach:


To me that insinuates that trimming is possible, but the THS is moved by hydraulic motors driven by G and Y sys. The very two systems that are not operating!? As we're (likely) in alternate law I would have thought the F/CTL system is now maintaining Load Factor demand with elevator only through the operative B system. The THS is stuck in the last position where G or Y hydraulics was available. As we select L/G down and go into direct law (direct stick to elevator relationship), that will likely result in an out of trim condition.

Am I right in reasoning? If so, use of the words trimmed for approach sounds misleading.
Any ideas are welcome.
