No, gnucash does not support direct connect, yet.  It's being
considered, but libofx does not support it.  Even if/when gnucash
supports it, you would still need to get the OFX URL from your bank.
So, even if we DO get support, it may not help you unless we can
convince the financial institutions to give us a pointer to the OFX
server.
