No it won't make any difference with picture quality, (that is not an hdmi cable anyway).

Hdmi cables, either work, or don't work, there is no picture (or sound) quality difference.

4K cables do exist and I bought it but I cannot see the difference as I don't own a 4K TV yet.

They do not exist.

It is purely marketing, there is HDMI and HDMI high-speed (high speed is hdmi 1.4 which some sellers also call hdmi 2.0), but hdmi 2.0 is the port and not the cable.

Thank you for proving my point.

1st link is about hdmi ports (not cables).

From 2nd link

Cables
Although no maximum length for an HDMI cable is specified, signal attenuation (dependent on the cable's construction quality and conducting materials) limits usable lengths in practice and it's difficult to get past 13 m under certification. HDMI 1.3 defines two cable categories: Category 1-certified cables, which have been tested at 74.5 MHz (which would include resolutions such as 720p60 and 1080i60), and Category 2-certified cables, which have been tested at 340 MHz (which would include resolutions such as 1080p60 and 2160p30). Category 1 HDMI cables are marketed as "Standard" and Category 2 HDMI cables as "High Speed".This labeling guideline for HDMI cables went into effect on October 17, 2008. Category 1 and 2 cables can either meet the required parameter specifications for interpair skew, far-end crosstalk, attenuation and differential impedance, or they can meet the required nonequalized/equalized eye diagram requirements. A cable of about 5 meters (16 feet) can be manufactured to Category 1 specifications easily and inexpensively by using 28 AWG (0.081 mm²) conductors. With better quality construction and materials, including 24 AWG (0.205 mm²) conductors, an HDMI cable can reach lengths of up to 15 meters (49 feet). Many HDMI cables under 5 meters of length that were made before the HDMI 1.3 specification can work as Category 2 cables, but only Category 2-tested cables are guaranteed to work for Category 2 purposes.

As of the HDMI 1.4 specification, the following cable types are defined for HDMI in general:

  • Standard HDMI Cable – up to 1080i and 720p
  • Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet
  • Automotive HDMI Cable
  • High Speed HDMI Cable – 1080p, 4K, 3D and deep color
  • High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet
An HDMI cable is usually composed of four shielded twisted pairs, with impedance of the order of 100 Ω, plus several separate conductors.

With HDMI 2.0 cable is pure marketing... An old cable work on every HDMI, 1.3, 1.4, 2.x.....
The same thing (a little bit different, but 99% compatible) is with the LAN cable, CAT 5, 6 or 7 :)
