Twin scroll is not literally like two turbos.

If you want to use the 'old' term for a turbo (turbine supercharger), then yes, there are two turbines. (I.E. a double turbine hot-side).

There is still a single compressor (normal cold-side).
(Not a bad thing).

It makes a little bit of difference, but I've never seen any numbers to suggest a twin scroll would dramatically change anything over a single scroll.
It's more like one of those 'every little bit helps' sort of things.
