Simple answer is yes. Toyotas have what is called an interference engine. This just means that if the timing belt breaks, the piston can make contact with the upper end of the combustion chamber. Of course, that is where the valves live, so yes it can cause some real problems. It's possible. But not likely..

If the timing belt broke in a 2000 Mazda Protege 1.8 will the car be damaged?
A 2000 Mazda Protege with 1.8 DOHC engine appears to be a "free-running" engine, meaning there is no valve/piston interference in case the timing belt broke. There is enough clearance between the valve and piston, even if the cam stops (i.e. the timing belt breaks) with the valve fully open. Therefore, the car will not be damaged if the timing belt broke.
