Hmmm, I've had discussions with other people about this before. My interpretation is this:

The ailerons roll the aircraft. Once rolling begins (ignoring adverse yaw) the aircraft begins slowly to yaw. Yaw doesn't mean rudder input. It means any rotation about the vertical axis which changes your heading.

So, in my opinion, yes there is yaw in any turn. But I could be wrong.
