Assuming a frictionless model it shouldn't matter if there is a conveyor belt at all, or if it is moving with the direction of travel or against it. The wheels are just rollers. The plane will accelerate and take off because it doesn't apply thrust to the ground/conveyor/whatever, it's exhausted into the air.
