I presume it would not be correct since it is a phrasal verb which has a different meaning from the usual
to touch - to move your fingers over something
As a phrasal verb, touch on means to mention something while you are talking or writing.
The conversation was going so well until Marco decided to touch on
Diana's death
In the context above, the conversation went from good to bad because Marco mentioned/talked about Diana's death.

Saying "This issue touches personal beliefs" doesn't really make sense. The sentence needs a slight correction too, to be one of the following:
This issue touches on personal beliefs, and belief always trumps facts.
