No, so long as the belt did not slip there would be no damage internally. The bearings on the crankshaft and cam are robust. If the cam belt breaks or loses some teeth, the timing between the valves and pistions gets out of whack. They both try to occupy the same space with bad results. But you already knew this - interference engine.
