Is the turbo on the MY03 WRX water cooled, and if so does this reduce the need for turbo timers, or letting the car idle for a min or so before switching off the engine?

Dunno about it being water cooled but it is oil cooled and as oil seems to dissapate heat better than water (which vapourises at 100 deg C) the oil does a better job 
I would do as John says, run the car easy for the last few miles and either get a turbo timer fitted or just idle the engine for a min or two when you get home (gives you time to fit the disklok etc)
