Just to clarify,
If my opponent uses Gardevoir's Psychic Lock on my Ho-oh and knock out my Ho-Oh, am I allowed to the Phoenix Turn?

Since Psychic Lock only prevent me to use Poke-Power on my turn, and Ho-Oh Poke-Power is activate during opponent's turn.

You just answered it yourself. Ho-oh is knocked out during your opponents turn, so Phoenix Turn will activate.
 
No, it does not. Phoenix Turn only activates "during your opponent's turn, if Ho-Oh would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack". Burn and Poison damage satisfy neither of those conditions.
