Torque is torque, Slipstream effect on the vertical stabiliser is airflow, they are not the same.

In a SE a/c torque will be felt as a rolling tendency in the opposite direction from the direction of rotation of the propeller. Airflow is never "torque". Rudder bias or offset fin are to counter airflow effects as well as the rolling tendency on ME a/c in the event of critical engine failure.
