It doesn't protect him, actually I'm positive the damage is calculated depending on how much damage the user recieved since the official website says "an explosion that will deal a much greater damage to the opponent". It's very usefull since Turtonator is weak against Ground and Rock  type moves, which are mainly phisical, since they don't have to be contact moves it means that Turtonator (who will likely have a skyrocket defense) will live an Earthquake/Rockslide losing a good chung of his health only to give back the hit boosted...

So like a more powerful counter, then?

Since the game says that the Pokémon Sets the Trap at the beginning of the turn I feel like even if Turtonator is killed the trap will still activate, meaning that it's possible to revenge-kill without a revenge killer. Also it's likely a Fire type move which is pretty sweet since there is no type that is immune to Fire (while Ghosts are immune to Counter) and most Flash Fire Pokémon are special so you still couldn't use it against them...
