No. Mobile devices don't sync your files the same way the desktop clients do, so there's no need for Selective Sync. The mobile clients don't have all of your files stored locally like the desktops do. They only show you a list of the files in your account and allow you to upload or download files as needed.
I need to be able to hide a folder from the iPad, and not simply by keeping it offline, where the folder is still visible.
There's no way to do that.
