No it doesn't. A difference in pressure is what makes a turbine, any turbine, spin. If you were to pipe high pressure, cold air into a turbo it would still work. Divided housing turbines have been around in large turbos for a long time, and they do work well. By dividing the runners you maintain a smaller, higher pressure area on the turbine wheel to do more efficient work. This is also why higher compression engines spool turbos faster.
