If you are not bypassing the spell prereq for the item, you are forced to 'cast' it.

From the creating wonderous item section (similar text can be found in almost all other feat specific sections).
If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making the item, the creator must have prepared the spells to be cast (or must know the spells, in the case of a sorcerer or bard) but need not provide any material components or focuses the spells require. The act of working on the item triggers the prepared spells, making them unavailable for casting during each day of the item's creation. (That is, those spell slots are expended from the caster's currently prepared spells, just as if they had been cast.)
so in your case, each day you spent crafting the belt, you would need to use a copy of the scroll or have someone around who can cast it for you. Otherwise, you have to add +5 to the DC of the check.
