Someone I know recently called a mechanic and asked about a timing belt change
for a '97 Accord. The mechanic said that there are actually 2 timing belts
that would need to be changed, and then he quoted a price that was a lot lower
than other places around here (he quoted $300 while other places have quoted
anywhere from $500 to $800). Is this true -- are there 2 belts?

yep, there is a timing belt and a balancer belt.
