No, that's the whole point. When a form is submitted, all the server gets is name-value pairs in a URL-encoded string. It doesn't matter if you're using Java or CF or anything else on the server - that's just how HTML forms work. While CFINPUT does describe what the field type is, this information is just used to generate an HTML form. CF doesn't "remember" anything about the form after it's been rendered. If you're delivering the form itself to the user, you could keep track of the field types on the server before you deliver the form.
