No, you do not have to replace the timing belt at the same time as the water pump. It is highly recommended because there is no additional labor involved since the timing belt must be removed to replace the water pump.
The water pump is driven by the timing belt under the timing cover. It would be no more labor to replace the timing belt at the same time.They will only last about 90k and you could do both at the same time.To replace the water pump you have to take the timing belt off and drain the cooling system.Then, the new water pump is bolted on and the standard procedure is to replace the timing belt at that time.
I was quoted $2200 to replace the timing belt for the amount of work and labor involved.
expect about 2 hours labor and a recommdation from him to replace both serp belts and the timing belt too the serp belts need to removed to access the pump and the water pump is driven by the timing belt and if its gotten wet by the coolant it wont last long and may leave you stranded then its about 2 hours labor to replace the timing belt
If I remember correctly you will need to remove the timing belt to replace this water pump. This is a very labor intensive job. You should replace the timing belt, tensioner pulley, camshaft seal, and crankshaft seal while you have the car apart and access is easy.

When you replace the timing belt you should replace the water pump and tensioner pulley as well. It may save you in labor costs down the road. But, all together it is about $500.
