Nope.

You will only be affected if you typed in your personal details, appleID passwords etc. Just brushing against a website will do no harm

To have anything installed you would need to type in your phone passcode.

In Settings, Safari, erase all website history

Worst is you might get a spam calendar.

If you do,

In Calendar app, tap on Calendars and uncheck the ones you don’t recognise .

Then in:-

Go to Settings, Calendar and look in Accounts 

(iOS13 and earlier Go to Settings, Passwords & Accounts and look in Accounts )

And in either case see if a strange calendar is listed. If it is then tap on it and tap Delete account.
