Generally no, there’s one set of lights for each lane. And green circle means “you can go in any direction according to your lane”.
There are lights with multiple columns, but they’re rare. I can only think of one around here off the top of my head, and that’s because it’s on my commute home. It’s part of a weird six-way intersection where I can take a right either on my green arrow or on the green circle along with the lane to my left going straight (but we share a red). (This is also signed “no right on red”, but that’s pretty common around here.)
Green arrow means it’s a protected turn, i.e. oncoming traffic has a red.
This seems weird. Do you guys not have arrows for turning traffic? Just one set of solid lights??
Left arrows are pretty common. Right arrows are extremely rare.
For context, I suspect this is what you mean:
These were common in EU before getting deprecated.
Lol no wtf if that monstrosity.
I mean a second or even third column of lights that are left and/or right arrows.

The UK would have this to make it clear whether the turn is allowed and to confirm that there are no conflicting pedestrian green lights:
