No, Kindles don't grant page-turning functionality via Bluetooth. It would have been a neat convenience for people who find it difficult to tap the screen or press the Kindle Oasis' on-device buttons.
If you're wondering how third-party page turners work with Amazon's e-readers, they attach a clip to the screen that mimics the touch of a finger with radio frequency (RF) technology. The clip is controlled by a wireless remote. It's an interesting workaround though Amazon hasn't attempted to provide a first-party alternative. You cannot use Bluetooth to connect a keyboard or transfer files between your Kindle and smartphone either.
In addition to audiobooks, your Kindle can also use an audio device for its Assistive Reader text-to-speech feature that supports books obtained from the Kindle store. Its Bluetooth functionality might not let you turn pages right now, but it still comes in handy when you want to listen to an audiobook on Audible or have it read a book for you.
