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.
Unlike this first answer, I have a 1991 MPV 4-wheel drive and a 1993 MPV. I have broken the timing belt multiple times on both and it has "never" damaged the engine.
All mazda b series with a b2000 or b2200 are a NON interference engine.So in short if your timing belt broke it will not damage the engine.
The timing marks for a 1995 Mazda e2000 are located on the cam and crankshaft sprockets. They must be perfectly aligned to prevent engine damage.
2.5L V-6 Mazda Millenia engine is a non-interference engine. If your timing belt pops, you will not damage your valves, like I did in my Diamante
On a 2003 Mazda Protege it must be changed at 105,000 miles. This is an interference engine and as such if the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur.
The engine will stop running. This is not an interference engine so there will be no engine damage. Just replace the belt.

The Kia 1.8 liter engine is a Mazda engine used in the Protege' from the mid-90s. That and the 2.0 liter engine used in 1994-2002 Sportages were used from Mazda and if the timing belt breaks, it will NOT damage the valves, thus a non-interference engine.
