Yes, it's a timing belt.
The only production volkswagen engines with timing chains is the 12v/24v VR6 engines, the VR5 engine, the 30v V6 and the W8.

And no, not all engines have one.

not all engines like what?

other than rotary...

all internal combustion/piston engines have timing belts/chains...

ohc as well as internal cam motors have timing chains...

Timing gears, used in older pushrod engines and even modern inline engines.
