You want to know how long it takes or whether to have it done soon? Most chains they recommend every 150,000 miles. An 'interference' engine you would be safer to change at recommended intervals. Here are the timing chain replacement instructions in the diagrams below which shows the timing chain timing marks.

Toyota quit using timing belts in late 90's, (in U.S.) And use chains.

Look at front of engine, if there is a plastic cover then it has a belt, if it has an aluminum cover then it has a chain. Chains do not have a replacement interval.

Yup it has a chain. Which is suppose to last the life of the car under normal operating procedures/circumstances.
