You are correct. The Y wing originates in the Clone Wars where it was primarily a two seater bomber with a pilot and a gunner for the turret (see Clone Wars series). The Y wings in the original trilogy (and in Star Wars rebels and Rogue one) are the BTL-A4 versions, stripped down to be easier to maintain and piloted by a single pilot with a forward only turret, typically an ion cannon, which was controlled by the pilot as with the primary guns.
