In general, no. Like all things mechanical it will depend on several factors. If the engine overheated prior to the timing belt failure then most times the problem is a faulty water pump impeller. Replace the water pump. Until the engine is back running it is difficult to know if there is damage to the head. Check for any signs of water or oil leaks aorund the headgasket. If leakage is present it would be recommended to remove the head for inspection. A broken timing belt can cause other damage such as bent valves which would necessitate head removal and or replacement. (Comments are directed toward the four or five cylinder in-line engines.)
Simple answer is yes. The water pump is driven by the timing belt. P.S if you are not sure on how to do this job then pay a reputable workshop. You can bend cylinder head valves if you replace the timing belt incorrectly and then you are talking thousands to repair your car! Steve:-)

It's normal for the water pumps on cars to last the life of the vehicle. Usually you only need to replace them when they give you problems.

The water pump is driven from the timing belt on all 4cyl new beetles. The serpentine belt only drives the A/C compressor, Alternator, and Power steering pump. The water pump also come with plastic impellers that are prone to failure and can cause stange overheating issues...
To replace the water pump on a 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio with a 2.0 engine, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal and drain the coolant. Remove the drive belt and the timing belt cover, then take off the timing belt to access the water pump. Unscrew the old water pump, clean the mating surface, and install the new pump with a new gasket or sealant. Reassemble by reversing the steps, ensuring all parts are properly aligned and secured.
