I have a 51 plate Jimny with about 50k on the clock and have been thinking that the cam belt may need changing soon due to its age (normally I wouldnt bother too much as I buy cheap cars, but I love my Jimny and plan to keep it for a while!) but there isnt anything about changing the cam belt in the manual....is there any chance that my engine has also got a cam chain as standard??

It may have the M13A engine as I believe this is the year they made the swap. There are some 2001 cars with the G13 which uses a belt and others have the M13A. Mine is a 2001 but has the newer engine.
