Turbos require exhaust gasses to pass through them to spin up the turbo (correct).

Turbo lag is caused by the engine not putting out enough exhaust to spin the turbo up to speed. Using a smaller turbo requires less gas to spin (due to lower roational inertia), and is suitable for smaller applications.
