An "interference engine" typically refers to the fact that the valves are retracted into the head when the piston comes to the top of it's stroke and that if the valves are not retracted in time, the piston would otherwise collide with the valves, causing extensive engine damage.
The answer to that question is, "yes"; but then, most modern engines are interference type, since that is necessary if an engineer wishes to produce an efficient and powerful internal combustion engine.
The Saturn 4 cylinder engine uses a timing chain to keep the valve timing synchronized with the crankshaft. While many less adequately designed engines use timing belts which require periodic replacement, the Saturn 4 cylinder engines do not require that the timing chains be replaced unless the engine is being rebuilt.
What else can I help you with?

With a code 19 what would this make the car do if falty and is there a fix for a code 19 on a 93 Saturn twin cam?
Code 19 is telling you that the computer has received the correct pulse width from your crankshaft sensor. Either your crankshaft sensor is dirty ( the sensor opperates by magnetics, and has a magnet in the tip. this magnet will over time accumulate metal particles from your engine) or has malfunctioned. The crankshaft sensor is located on the back of the engine block, just behind the starter.
