No, all Ford Escorts whether lx or zx2 are non-interference engines. Meaning that the valves won't go through the pistons if the timing belt breaks.

Do you need to replace the valves when you break a timing belt on a 1992 ford escort?

Pobably not...most of the time when the timing belt breaks the whole engine just stops. The belt moves the cam and if the cam isn't moving the valves aren't either. Besides replacing the timing belt is expensive enough, don't need to add a valve job on top of that.
