No, bash is not available in GRUB.  However, the GRUB command line has a
syntax quite similar to bash, and you can use it to perform conditional
operations.

At present, though, I don't think there's a way to use PCI configuration
information in a GRUB script condition.  Perhaps there's something else
you can base the decision on?
