Not quite. Engine torque and propeller torque are two different things. The propeller counteracts the engine torque, because usually the prop turns in the opposite direction of the engine from using a reduction gear between the engine and prop and also, it puts much more torque on the airframe than the crank.

So, with a clockwise turning propeller, viewed from the cockpit, your aircraft will roll faster to the left but also turn better to the left. And vice versa.
