The cam locking tool worked for non VVT engines, not yours. You could have turned the engine past tdc, clockwise, and then back to tdc to remove tension on the intake cam. Use whiteout to paint better markings. The cam will not sudenly spin when you take the belt off, but it can move a little, so, just move it back by hand.

If you are 1 or 2 teeth off the marks, your engine will not self destruct, it takes more than that.

Obviously, turning the engine two or 4 revs by hand is a safety measure and should always be done. Any restriction says to stop and check your work.

When starting the engine, always wait for the oil pressure to rise before shutting it off again. At least 30 seconds.

Do not remove the S belt pulley, it gains you nothing but extra work.
