No, there's no such dialog.
The network panel allows you to manually select a firewall zone if you
click the cogwheel.

What we do have is per network sharing settings. When you enable any kind
of sharing you can select on which networks you want to enable sharing. If
you do that and connect to a network in which you did not enable sharing
your stuff will not be shared. Also to add remote shares you must
explicitly do so in the Online Accounts panel, so you won't see random
videos in your video library if you're connecting to a coffee shop wifi,
but (in theory) you will see the videos shared by another computer you have
at home.
