Torque is a physical moment (measured in lb-ft, N-M, etc.) about some axis. Prop shaft torque is about the longitudinal axis, is reacted through the engine mounts into the airframe, and will be countered in the ailerons.
But the "swing" or "torque" pilots experience on rapid power application is about the vertical axis, and is countered by rudder input. (Right-hand prop rotation, right rudder...). This is the airflow effect (prop vortex on the vertical fin).
In both cases, as we slow to near Vs, we may run out of rudder or aileron authority, and the airplane does unwanted things.
I think we are talking about the same thing, blueplume, but I just wanted to get the terminology straight.
