Trust and cross-realm aren't the same thing. 

AD people frequently get this wrong, because AD docs do not admit there
is something else than trust between ADen. The cross-realm is only an
authentication pre-requisite to the full-blown authorisation user-mapping
that is an AD trust. If one does some research this old document surfaces:

led to believe that it is more or less valid for present-day Windowses.

One-way trust is quite ok, yes.
