Not a for sure thing, but it's very possible.
The opening and closing of the valves needs to be timed correctly, otherwise they could be open when the piston reached the top and damage could result.

It is not like a belt and pulley. A timing belt is a belt and it fits on a pulley.
To change the timing belt on a 1998 Concorde do you have to remove the crankcase pulley?
yes u do have to take off crank pulley and it is a chain inside you should not attempt this with out a manual because you will need to know how to line the timing marks up if you do not get this right you will end up with valves colliding with pistons that gets very expensive
On rover 400 1998 when timing marks on camshafts arealigned are the pistons halfway down bore?
When the crank pulley marks are aligned with the dots of the waterpump That is 90 degrees BTDC. So the asnwer to your question is yes. The pistons are 1/2 down the bore
Why do engines blow when timing belts break?
The timing belt is what keeps the valves from moving in synch with the pistons. If the timing belt snaps or cogs over the pistons are likely to collide with the valves smashing them both.
Why does car turn over then stops like its jammed just had new timing belt?
If a new timing belt was installed but the valve timing does not correspond with the pistons ie: the valves opening as the pistons reaching top dead centre ,,then it will be jamming.. bending valves and possibly damaging pistons.. when fitting a new timing belt or chain you have to be very careful of cam/valve position in respect of the pistons
Is there a tension or Idle pulley in the Timing Belt system If so Can it sqeal or sound like bearings are wearing out?
absolutely. If that is what is squealing and it ceases the timing belt could be damaged and in some engines cause major damage. Non clearence engines can smash vales and pistons and even crack heads and pistons. Go to http://www.gates.com/part_locator/index.cfm?location_id=3598&go=Interference to find out more about timing belts. There is also a tension pulley on many serpentine drive belt assembly. This belt is usually very long and goes the engine pulley, alternator, PS pump, AC pump. The idle pulley applies pressure to the back side of the belt, the flat and opposite side that would fit into the slots of accessory being driven.
