Yes, what's been unsaid, but what I believe everyone is trying to say here is that the hold entry counts as a turn in holding. So a clearance of "one turn in holding", means that after you cross the fix on a teardrop, for example, and are established inbound, you're considered to have completed the one turn and are expected to commence crossing the IAF inbound.
