The B777 trim switch is only used for speed changes. There is no need to trim for turns, configuration changes, or power changes. The thrust levers move in response to autothrottle power changes just as if you were hand flying. All Boeing autothrottle systems are like that. A lot of pilots prefer this as it gives them another cue as to what the autoflight system is doing.
