no - and virtual servers existed before the buzzword clould was invented

a server is a server is a server
no matter if it is phyiscal or virtualized

look at P2V conversion - after that it's the same server as before
but virtualized, so no - bare metal or virtualized is meaningless

we are VMware driven and a virtual server is identically handeled
than a bare metal box years before - really identical
