Correct.. no maintenance is requiered for the chain. All Toyota 4cylinders have chains and all of their 6's have belts.

This might seem stupid but I have to ask what exactly the difference is? Is there something wrong with a car using a timing chain or are timing belts a better alternative? I’m really lost.

Just like any other belt, timing belts could break. Timing chains still wear out but you don't have to worry about. Timing chains however still need to be changed. Not as often.
