I don't think it was really done intentionally. But then again, Vader was prepared to do anything to try and convince Luke to join him in the Dark Side.
Actually:This is very brief and basic.
This was a form of foreshadowing, a way to illustrate the similarity between Anakin/Vader and Luke. We see in Episode three how Anakin is consumed by rage and succumbs to the dark side, and in karmic fashion loses his limbs, symbolically consumed in fire. With the perception that he caused Padme's death, Vader (Anakin is now stripped away) gives up the last of his humanity as he screams in grief. In his battles with the older Vader, Luke is losing his grip on his own humanity and is giving in to his own anger. The positive influences in his life, Obiwan, Yoda, Leia, Han, C3PO and R2, even his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, all help to keep him anchored, something Anakin never had as he becomes Vader. This is illustrated in Episode V, when Luke is hanging from the antenna below Cloud City, he visibly gives up the rage and collapses into the arms of Lando and is rescued, both physically and spiritually, through the open hatch of the Millennium Falcon.

Why does Darth Vader cut off Luke's hand?
Luke is resisting giving in to the Dark Side, so Darth Vader is fighting Luke with his light saber, and cuts off Luke's hand to show him his power, and to even further persuade him in joining him (Darth Vader) on the Dark Side. This act of cutting someone's hand off is called Cho Mai according to Jedi records. This is considered merciful by most Sith Lords who prefer killing their opponent.

Yes, but not only once. In "Revenge of the Sith," Obi-Wan defeated the duel against Vader by cutting off both of his legs and his left arm. And in "Return of the Jedi," Vader got his right hand cut off because Luke Skywalker was giving into anger and he was dueling Vader within his rage. When Vader was originally Anakin Skywalker in "Attack of the Clones," Anakin lost his right arm during a duel with Count Dooku on Geonosis.

Depends on how you look at it. Luke did cut off Vader's prosthetic hand and then realized he was doing wrong and he was going down the dark road when he saw his own prosthetic hand. Then of course, the Emperor took advantage of Luke refusing to give in to the dark side.
