It would depend on the resistance back through the spinning wheel. They say in a one wheel in the air situation to pull the handbrake on, which has the effect of loading up the diff and reducing the amount of differentiation.

you'd then be able to do a fully sick drift into the wall
I'd get one, they transform the car

IMHO, whether it's a torsen diff or a good clutch diff (unless it's very tight), you need to have a bit of a run-up with the diff under load for it to lock up quickly.
So I reckon even say a Mazdaspeed LSD would have spun up initially and it would have been quite a few moments before the LSD finally did its thing.

The Torsen must have traction on both wheels or it will act as an open diff. I believe it would not have helped you avoid this incident.

Ive got one in my car... im not really sure if this answers your question but you might find the info helpful...
Both Wheels on wet grass = one wheel skid.
Both wheels on road = burn out
One on hard surface, one on grass = unknown...
