No.  There is only one counter for all Invoices.  There is no difference
between how it is paid.   Besides, how would you know a priori when you
send out an invoice that the customer is going to pay in cash?

Unless, of course, you are trying to push GnuCash into a Point of Sale
system (for which it is not designed).
