Towards the end of 440/460 production the specs can get a bit hard to follow. It coincided with the period when Volvo were moving away from having a range of about half a dozen models (S, SE, Si, GLT, CD etc etc) to the "option package" approach, where you added a particular pack and any further options you fancied to just one or two specific model cars.
The 1.7 turbo was discontinued with the end of 480 production, which was a good year to 18 months before 440/460 came to an end. So if you have managed to find a GS turbo my guess is you have luckily stumbled upon one of the last 440s with that engine!
Usually the turbo came with ABS as standard - but as you say the GS brochure specifies it is an optional extra but at a special reduced price (and the point of that was...??).
It's quite likely that until you see it "in the metal" it will be impossible to be certain exactly what its specification is.
Good luck anyway - I hope it lives up to expectations when you do finally get to see it!
