Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

No, there is no option to sync user object from Azure AD to on-premises AD.

AD connect is always one way sync for objects (users, groups, contacts and devices). AD connect syncs objects from on-prem to Azure AD.

AD connect doesn't writeback user from Azure AD to on-premises AD. The user writeback preview feature was removed in the August 2015 update to Azure AD Connect.

This is also documented in our public document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-preview#user-writeback

Currently we do not have this feature. However, this might be one of our upcoming features in AD connect.
