Yes, there is "toe-in" on jet aircraft engines. The nose of the aircraft generates a bow wave. By the time this wave reaches the engines, the airflow is at an angle to the fuselage. From memory, the engine angle for a 747 is only 2 degrees (either side), but if you can see toe-in on a 737, the toe-in angle for this aircraft is probably somewhat higher than this.
