I am sure some have done so but, no, not normally.

Koalas are protected by law, and are not hunted or eaten. In the past, indigenous Australians found them particularly easy prey, but as no indigenous people live a completely traditional lifestyle, koalas are now not eaten at all.

No. Koalas are herbivores and the worst they can do to a human is to give a nasty scratch with their robust claws.
