It really depends on the implementation? From my understanding, WebRTC uses it to broker the connection and nothing more. Then it's p2p

The "The Traditional Way" section of the article covers the shortcomings of the WebRTC approach (i.e. ICE) and why it does not always result in a P2P session forming/the TURN server leaving the picture.
The tldr is having a TURN server enables more hole-punching methods to be attempted, but that's not the same thing as a guarantee the session will succeed in switching to P2P.
