As with icefalls, it's very difficult to assign responsibility for a specific ground vortex damage event to a specific flight, so in practice probably not.
Though legally yes (in the UK, at least):

"Under Section 76(2) of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 legal responsibility for damage caused by aircraft rests with the operator of the aircraft concerned."
