Maybe, not necessarily. Depends on how the turbo is cooled.
On my sti, the turbo is water cooled, therefore, no need to let the turbo cool down. Even the owners manual says no need to allow the turbo to cool down before shutting off the car. Therefore, i interpret that as there is little risk in damaging the turbo with EOC cycles.
From other WRX STI forums:
The water gets into the turbo, cooling it down, evaporates from heat, that vapor goes into return line, new water gets into the turbo, cools it further, and the cycle continues even with the engine off. Just pulling into a parking spot will give your turbo all the cooling down it needs.
However, if none of this is correct, at least i've got a 60,000 warranty on my car
