No - dd makes an exact copy of the source disk. If it was ext4, then the dd'd copy will also be ext4.
If I understand your question, you want to do what may be called file-level cloning. This article, "Clone File System Hierarchy to Another Disk With Rsync" describes a procedure for doing file-level cloning that should help you to at least get started.
