"Belief in a just world" is pretty vague, because it can mean both

1. That justice will eventually happen.

2. That justice has already happened, and what you're looking at that looks like injustice to you actually isn't.

I think everyone falls between those two extremes in practice.

I'm not sure that those really are the extremes. I think quite a lot of people believe that justice may or may not ever happen depending on how we choose to act as a civilization. Even further than that, many people believe injustice is an inevitable feature of existence.
