You can think of it that way, but you have a much easier time timing upsmashes since they are Jump canceled giving you more frames to work with before having to upsmash. Pivoting is done by doing a move during the one frame of standing in a dash dance. So for a smash you have 2 options.

You can dash dance then as soon as you jam the control stick in one direction hit A too. If you do it enough times you should be able to get it and find the timing somewhat.

You can also dashdance and hit the see c-stick during the pivot as well. I find that dashing forward, dashing back, c-sticking forward is easier to time.
