Will the thermostat be exchanged during the timing belt change?!

Is the thermostat also changed when changing the timing belt (V8)? One and a half years ago, the large timing belt service including large (deure) inspection was carried out with me. Or is this offered optionally? No one asked me for it. The water pump and many other parts such as tensioning rollers etc. were taken care of. Is the thermostat also called a cooling regulator?
