Power transformers may be step-up or step-down. Distribution transformers are step-down. Isolation transformers are 1:1 ration Transformers. Matching transformers are used in electronic circuits for impedence matching purposes. Instrument transformers are used to measure high-voltage voltages and currents or to operate protective systems.

An autotransformer is a transformer with at least two windings where a part of one winding (the common winding) is shared between both primary and secondary outputs.
"Auto" refers to the single winding used an auto transformer.

A true autotransformer consists of one, tapped, winding. For a step-down transformer, part of the winding is in series with the supply and the other part is common to both the supply and the load. For a step-up autotransformer, part of the winding is in series with the load, while the other part is common to both supply and load.But you can also use a mutual transformer as an autotransformer, by connecting the two windings in series and, then, described as above.

An autotransformer is a transformer where the primary and secondary are a single winding.
the power can flow either way through autotransformer (345/120 kV) ?

because autotransformer used for both purpose step up and step down but dustrubution need step down in case of this autotransformer not used for dustrubtion purpouseAnswerBecause an autotransformer (not 'auto transformer') does not provide electrical isolation between the secondary and primary.
fixed taps and variable resistance
cannot be used as an isolating transformer, because is has common winding.
