Can rotors on a 2003 VW Passat be turned or do they have to be replaced when changing front and back brake pads?

It depends on how much wear is on the rotors. The can be turned if there is enough clearence to do so. Ir they're not warped, grooved or other wise damaged don't wast your time or money.
