No, different cars have the airbag sensors positioned in different places and some sensors are more sensitive then others. Some cars only require a hefty kick to the front spoiler to set off the airbags or the Hollywood special of punching the dash board. Electric shorts can all so set them off, I have heard of mechanics dying from accidentally shorting out the airbag wiring when their heads were in a bad position. General rule of thumb is that orange wires are used to distinguish airbag sensor wiring from others but this could differ between makes and models.

Replacing the seatbelts involves removing several interior trim panels, unfortunately almost all of them, starting from the front. If the seatbelt will no longer retract, it is non-functioning and needs replacement. Seat belts should ALWAYS be replaced after an accident involving airbag deployment. The airbag light is telling you the dealer or a qualified mechanic needs to do some slightly dangerous work replacing the airbags and the airbag controller.
