That is not the same thing. They have never actually fought each other like they did as kids. Kakashi doesn't have the chakra to copy Kisame's more powerful techniques and that is a fact, so no Kakashi doesn't have a counter for all of Kisame's jutsu. Kisame was able to go toe to toe in taijutsu against Guy, and could perfectly counter all of B's sneak attacks while fighting Sabu.

Do you mean Kakashi escaped Zabuza's water prison in their first fight? Because even then Kakashi only did so thanks to Naruto and Sasuke's assistance. And even if Kakashi manages to escape it, Kisame has way more techniques to dish out.
