the water pump pumps the antifreeze witch flows through your heater core. if the water pump is shot your car would over heat. BUT i have never heard of water pump failer due to a system bleed? did they give you a reson for the timing belt.

The water pump failure sounds fishy to me. I avoid dealerships at all cost. They tend to overcharge , and fix unnecessary stuff.
The timing belt on the other hand should have been done at 100,000 km / 60,000 mi
