I suspect we are on the same page. I am left handed so I am not in my right mind which makes it harder to be clear.

Yes, turning in the direction of the skid to both front and rear wheel drive.

I agree that front wheel drive can help pull a vehicle out of a skid. What that means is the steering wheel can be turned toward the direction you want to end up going sooner than rear wheel drive.

The precision in a drift is controlling the drift with varying amounts of primarily turning in the direction of the skid and using the go pedal to keep the rear wheels spinning and the rear end of the vehicle hanging out enough to maintain the drift.
