Exactly. If the pads are not worn down to metal(making grinding or squeeling noise), they likely dont need turning. If they're smooth, and don't have any obvious grooves in them or are not warped, they're fine. I changed my own brakes in my old bronco many times and didn't often need to machine the rotors. Every brake shop will want to machine or replace your rotors because they want your money. That being said, if you are unsure of what you are looking at, make sure someone who does(ticketyboo perhaps) helps you.
