So question i was wondering torrential gearhulk ability lets you cast instant from graveyard and if it went to graveyard this turn instead exile it. Now does that mean if i cast say counterspell then next turn i flickered gear hulk trigger let me cast it from grave since it went to graveyard last turn do i need exile it now?.

Where Torrential Gearhulk says "If that card would be put into your graveyard", it doesn't mean "If that card was put into your graveyard". When Torrential Gearhulk's triggered ability triggers while you control it, you can target any instant or sorcery card in your graveyard with that ability, no matter when it went to your graveyard (C.R. 114.1a, 112.8, 109.5, 603.3, 603.3d, 601.2c), and when it resolves, you may cast that card (which you can't do in the case of Counterspell unless another spell is on the stack [C.R. 601.2d, 114.1a, 114.5]) (C.R. 608.2f). If you cast that card this way and it would go to your graveyard, you exile that card instead of putting it into that graveyard.
