The starter turns the flywheel at the back of the engine. When the flywheel turns the whole engine turns. The timing chain is on the other end at the front of the engine. It is connected to the crankshaft and camshaft (s). So indirectly yes it does. If the whole engine is turned but the timing chain doesn't, there is a problem. Probably a broken timing chain.

Does a 2000 Saturn LS 2.2 have a timing chain or a timing belt?

The 2000 Saturn LS 2.2 comes equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. A timing chain is a metal chain that controls the timing of the engine's valves, while a timing belt is made of rubber and needs to be replaced at regular intervals. Timing chains are generally more durable and do not require routine maintenance like timing belts do.

The engine will not fire. Remove the distributor cap and turn the engine over. If the rotor does not turn that is a good sign the chain has broken.
