I've done this trick because I've had the belt go before the Kilometers 100.000 or every 5 year's what ever comes first my pump only has 45.000 Kay's in it so a new belt I can get the rest of the life out if the pump and pulleys bearings nice trick.
If you are sure the engine is properly timed on the old belt, then the trick of marking the old belt and the crank and cam wheels before disassembly can help, transfer the belt marks to the new belt and align the new belt with the marks you made on the pulleys, that ensures you get the right number of belt teeth between cam and crank pulleys and avoids having to adjust after if it's not right 1st time round. When doing it in the car, as most people will be, it's definitely easier i.m.o. to get the belt maybe 10-20% on the water pump pulley 1st then get the belt started on the crank pulley and push both fully home at the same time.
Great trick but when you change the belt it's good practice to change the pumps so belts would need to come off anyway
