Generally not. There are cases where something akin to intermediate code is shipped (e.g., SPIR-V or PTX for GPU code), but even then, the intent is that it is converted to a binary machine code in the driver.
Intermediate code tends to have downsides that make it hard to work with in an actual hardware implementation. Infinite registers, for example, which makes encoding instructions challenging.
