Yes but that's the whole point. People have complained about turbo lag. Turbos nowadays have variable "leaf angle" (directly translated! ) witch makes them very direct. It's very difficult to feel the turbo lag in modern cars with blades that variates and pick up speed allot faster from the exhaust flow.
Modern factory turbo jobs are more linear in their boost delivery, but custom modified one's can provide that lag and then instant kick.
For an example of turbo lag, and then boost kicking in, try the old Bentley Continental. While that car's engine had plenty of muscle without the turbo, many miss the feel of the big single turbo kicking in. Nowadays, the Bentley's are equipped with smaller twin turbos, so the power range is more broad, but the feeling is different.
