If the car has been submerged and water got into the engine, this can
directly result in camshaft seizing up and snapping the timing belt/chain.
Most modern engines have plain aluminium camshaft bearings (no shells of
any
kind!) and are extremely fussy about adequate lubrication with good
condition - uncontaminated oil!!!

Sure, but again that would be a case of a broken
belt/chain (I believe the Audi 3.0 engine uses a belt, but
I'm far from certain on that) caused BY the seizure, not the
other way around.
