Yes you can ignore a component when doing design sync. Here's how to do it:
- Open the design where you have placed the subcircuit/component that you wish to ignore
- Select the component
- Right-click and choose the menu: Component > Edit Component Artwork...
- Set the Artwork Type to Null.
The component will have a "NULL" artwork and basically be ignored in the layout. You will however see the instance name for the component in the layout since it's there in the database, but no layout is drawn for it.

And if I want it the other way ?
eg, I want to have layout components, but no schematic components (like contacts, via's etc).

That does not seem to be possible unfortunately. I've submitted an enhancement request for that feature.

I just have had a talk with the R&D team and it seems that the new layoutconnectivity tool will provide that feature
