Nah, counter unit so far is not working like that.

From welfare:

First counter unit is Ryoma, he is counter to LB II in general (lot of Caster and debuffs).

Next is J. Alter and Shuten, they're counters to LB III, Qin Shi Huang (use delay dodge to time her advantages), old man Li and Meiren (to burst them ... in case you not thinking of using GA to Medea NP 5) respectively. After them its S. Quetz, she is counter for LB IV.

Why? LB IV gimmick is reduce card performance and damage mitigation. Quetz is Ruler and have party star-gen boost ... which is a way to bypass the gimmick if you not have OG Arjuna who able to not give a damn to LB IV gimmick outside boss battle.

From boss:

Ivan is counter unit to Skadi and LB II tree. AOE, high resist, buff remove, cleanse.

Skadi is counter unit to LB III. QSH, old man Li and Meiren. 50% instant charge + dodge on NP + open path for Quick to loop in battle where most Quick Servant barely able to survive.

QSH is counter unit to LB IV as his damage mitigation is superb albeit asking stars, which coincidentally Samba Quetz excels by active means.

By the order, counter to LB V are S. Hokusai, Nagao, Nightingale and Arjuna Alter. Not really surprising as LB V very likely to have Alter Ego boss battle, obvious Lancer boss, Archer boss / tree and multi-class battle you just wanted to nuke from start.

You can't really treat event Servants as counter because they're more popularity-based than welfare and LB rulers.
