Timing belt, also called a timing chain, should be replaced each 100,000 km/60,000 miles. Use this opportunity to examine gaskets, valve clearances/seating and injectors. When reassembling the head, ask your mechanic to do a 'cold valve' setup, which could greatly improve gas mileage and overall performance. The whole project will take a full day and cost approx USD500 or so. Allowing the belt to catastrophically fail by itself can create widespread damage costing you closer to USD2000.

Does timing belt need to be replaced to fix water pump in 2002 Honda Civic?

You do not have to replace the timing belt but you will have to remove it in order the replace the pump. Unless the belt is pretty new I suggest you replace it at the same time you replace the pump. The pump should have been replaced when you replaced the belt at 105,000 miles.
