You are extremely fortunate. The 4 cylinder & V6 on the 2000
Mazda 626 are NOT interference engines. There
should be no damage.

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.
