question about 60K service

Hi, guys.
I am newbee to this community. I just boutgh 997 c2s.
Here is my question. Service records indicate that car had 60K service recently.
Does that mean that timing belt and spark plugs were changed ?

There are no timing belts to be changed at 60k miles.

Hmm, here is what manual says:

Possible additional costs
Depending on the model, age and mileage of your vehicle, your 911 may require some
additional maintenance work. Items covered are priced individually in the Service pricing booklet
and may include:
• Check/replace drive belt
That is confusing.
When Do you guys usually change timing belt ?
And how can I figure whether mine has been changed or not ?

Drive belt (also called serpentine belt) is not a timing belt. Timing belts on 996/997 are lifetime items.
