The BofH does say to tension the belt with the timing marks lined up, but that is for the first adjustment after fitting a new one, when everything is apart. I’m with you though, I can’t see that it would make any difference to the belt. A 4 cylinder motor will tend to stop at either 90 or 270 degrees - and by definition the pressure on the crank will be least at that point, so the cam belt won’t have any net torque acting on it.

That was a long winded way of saying it won’t make and difference if the motor is at TDC or not.
