Vayne's Condemn says:

If they collide with terrain after being knocked back, they are dealt the same amount of physical damage again and are stunned for 1.5 seconds.

Similarly, Poppy's Heroic Charge says:

... if they collide with terrain, her target will take a high amount of magic damage and be stunned for 1.5 seconds.

So if the enemy hits a turret, inhibitor, or nexus, does it count as terrain and cause these abilities to stun the target?

Yes. Turrets count as terrain for the purpose of champion abilities.

The wikia confirms this:

Towers count as terrain. Any abilities that interacts with terrain will trigger the effect, namely Poppy's Heroic Charge's and Vayne's Condemn's stuns.

For the record, this also includes destroyed buildings. The base is still there and counts as impassable terrain. – RHINO_Mk.II Mar 24 '12 at 2:36

Yes, they count as terrain. They even count when destroyed. So do things like trundle's pillar. It can be very powerful for trundle to cause a pillar to appear behind the target, then for vayne to shoot him.

Do you have a source for that? I haven't ever seen that particular interaction. – Rapida Feb 5 at 23:21
other then from my personnal experience no – Peter Jessen Feb 6 at 16:29
It was my understanding the terrain from trundle, annivia, and jarvan IV were all fake "minions" which is why a lot of skills go through them. It would surprise me if you can stun into them. – Rapida Feb 6 at 19:05
