I guess in theory one could just swap out the belt without placing everything on their marks. But would caution against that for two reasons that I can think of, one since the cams are under spring pressure who is to say a cam doesn't turn a bit while you are not looking at it. And if it did actually move, then you would have even more difficulty finding the factory marks without a timing belt in place. The other is the old belt will have stretched, not much, a couple of mm's maybe, so you could put a new belt on and move a pulley a little to for a tight fit and be moving it away from actual mark. It would be well worth the effort to find the marks on all three timing pulleys.
