Its a possibility, and if you already have the door panel off then it should be easier to attain if this is the case. Further details on this site suggest the failure of the latch causes all manner of locking/unlocking issues.

is it not possible to cut the keep part of the lock that attached to the car or is this harder than smashing the lock to pieces

I had similar problem. On here i think was instructions on how to open the door if youre lucky. wind down the window, use a torch and look through the gap at the lock mech. on mine the interior cable conection ( white and at the top i think) wasnt returning all the way, what i did was push the cable/ arm fully back with a 2ft bar/screwdriver. my door could then be opened .Lots of wd40 and its been ok up to now. may be i was just lucky but its worth a try. phil.....
