Not normally
It will need a head rebuild at the very least, as this is an interference engine
the valves do meet the pistons when the belt breaks.
Very rarely does piston damage occur.
It may be cheaper to source a second hand cylinder head.

If timing belt snaps on 2.5 transit diesel does this damage the valves?
If the timing belt snaps on a 2.5 Transit diesel, a secondary issue may be valve damage. When the timing of the engine is off, it throws the internal components out of whack.
Is the peugeot boxer a contact or non-contact engine?
I'm presuming you have the 1.9 diesel engine, in which case yes it is a contact engine. This means that in the event of a cam belt failure, piston to valve contact will occur, however, in 99% of cases there is no need to remove the cylinder head as the camshaft usually snaps, eliminating the need to remove the cylinder head.

When to do a timing belt on a 2.2L?
The GM 2.2L (not ECOTEC) engine for that model year used a timing chain with a teflon tensioner. As far as I know, it had no belt. However, the tensioners are notorious for failure...they break off and get between the chain and the sprocket, which snaps the chain. When this happens, the valves contact the pistons, bending them. If the engine is starting to sound like a diesel, you should consider having the chain and tensioner replaced.
What else breaks when the timing belt snaps?
It all depends on if you have an interference engine or not, if you do valves could hit pistons if running at the time
