I think the best way to get an answer to this question is to phone a Land Rover dealer, and speak to the parts department.
If your lucky, and the person you speak to is good at his/her job, they will know, as they will be the person who prices up the parts for cars that go into the dealer for repair following cam-belt failure.
They will be able to say "most of the time yes" or "most of the time no" or "50:50".
the k series freelander engine is known as an interference engine.
this means once the timing is off, even minimally, then the valves start smashing into other parts.
so, if the belt snaps then more than likely theres internal damage in the lower block of the engine

Yes, The timing belt coordinates the movement of the engine's valves with the movement of the pistons and fuel delivery system. If the timing belt "fails" this will be catastrophic for the engine.
