Torque management and traction control are 2 different but related things. The traction control reduces power when the computer, through the ABS sensors, detects slipage of the drive tires. Traction control can also apply the brakes if the reduction in power doesn't work.
Torque management only comes into play when you have extreme movements of the throttle. It's design is to keep power application smooth to avoid having a shock to the driveline that might damage it. If you are at full throttle and abruptly lift it actually slows the throttle closing by a small amount to reduce the harsh effect on the driveline, so it also works in the opposite direction.
