Yes, slide the t-belt over the tensioner pulley last. Start with the belt on the crank sprocket then work up the right keeping the belt fairly snug, over the intermediate shaft sprocket then up over cam sprocket, then slide the loose loop over the tensioner pulley. Getting it over the tensioner poulley may require Leaving the belt sticking out a bit from the upper cam sprocket, then push the belt back fully over the sprocket teeth.
Note that almost all t-belts will have white alignment marks to help make sure you install it correctly. Flip the belt so that the longest gap between two white lines is on the left and the double white line is at the bottom of the loop. With all sprockets lined up to their dots on the timing cover and block (as in that diagram) then start with the double white line wrapped half over the crank sprocket so it aligns with the guide plate notch. Then holding that belt in place underneath the pulley you can let it unwrap a bit from the notch, now hold it tight going up the right side and the next white line should align with the dot on the intermediate shaft sprocket and then the next white line should align with the dot on the cam sprocket. Once you've got the slack part of the belt over the tensioner pulley then you can do a quick double check of all sprocket alignment marks before releasing the tensioner. Rotate the crankshaft two revolutions, release and re-tighten the tensioner, then recheck that all sprocket marks align to their timing cover and block marks. Don't worry about the white lines no longer lining up. They won't line up again for a few thousand more revolutions. There was a post here recently where someone, I think it was Art, figured the actual number of revolutions based on the sprocket and belt teeth counts. Before finishing and replacing the upper timing cover, run the engine for a moment to make sure the belt doesn't want to walk off the pulleys. You actually don't need any of the drive belts installed to start and run the engine for a brief moment.
