a lot of difference
cambelt is toothed so if that slips you engine goes bye bye
yours is the, drivebelt/fanbelt same thing its the belt that drives the alternator its only about £5 from halfords its not hard to fit either

Drive belt/Auxillery drive belt/alternator belt/fan belt. get a new one from halfords or somewhere, loosen the aternator, take the old one off, clip the new one on and tension the alternator and tighten. should be about 5mm movement when you puch on the belt with reasonable force.
