The simple answer is no. The auxiliary drive belt or belts run your auxiliary systems (IE AC, Power Steering, Alternator). The timing belt runs valve timing (it keeps your crank shaft and cam shaft or shafts running in time).
PS. If you have a timing belt, you have an interference engine. Therefore the timing belt MUST be changed every 60,000 miles to avoid destroying one or more of your valves (top end engine rebuild or worse).
