It depends on the GM and the campaign.

For the first, if bionic arm are available for cash, you just add the relevant entry on the character sheet.
No need to spend cp.
It would be different if you had the "one arm" disadvantage at creation. In that case, most GM would require you to buy it off first.

For the mountain of cash, if you play in a typical "murder hobo" campaign, the social aspect of wealth are not in play, so no need to buy it up when you get an infusion of cash.
If you play in a social-oriented campaign where wealth matter past starting cash then some GM would require you to buy it up to gain the benefit of the increased social advantages tied to cash.
