Inverse only applies to unions, differences, etc...

You want to apply a warp statement to the object.
from the docs...

However, by specifying our turbulence inside warp statement you tell
POV-Ray that the order in which turbulence, transformations and other
warps are applied is significant. Here's an example of a turbulence warp.

  warp { turbulence <0,1,1> octaves 3 lambda 1.5 omega 0.3 }

The significance is that this

 pigment {
   wood
   translate <1,2,3> rotate x*45 scale 2
   warp { turbulence <0,1,1> octaves 3 lambda 1.5 omega 0.3 }
 }

produces different results than this...

 pigment {
   wood
   warp { turbulence <0,1,1> octaves 3 lambda 1.5 omega 0.3 }
   translate <1,2,3> rotate x*45 scale 2
 }

You may specify turbulence without using a warp statement. However you
cannot control the order in which they are evaluated unless you put them
in a warp
