This grammar shows something has not happened yet. It is like saying 'not yet' in English. You often use it with the word 'still' or 'yet'.
This is different from "~yorahen". "~yorahen" means an action is not happening right now. For example, "He is not doing his homework now." "~torahen" means an action is not finished yet. The result is not there. It is also more specific than just "~hen", which means "do not do" in general.
Watch out: Do not use "〜とらへん" for things happening right now. For example, if someone is not watching TV now, say "テレビ見てよらへん". If you say "テレビ見とらへん", it means they have not watched TV yet, or they missed a show.
