Is it possible to check online whether a used iphone is tie to a Telco contract?

settings/general/about/network provider lock

i believe that's there you look.

it should state 'no sim restrictions'

I think all msia telco is no sim lock. However, for those zerolution like plan where the phone is on installment, telco will lock it via imei if the contract owner failed to pay up.

Coming from my previous experience working at AAR and AASP, AAR does get stock from telco and sell them at full price without contract, when the customer brings their phone to AASP to check on their IMEI, AASP is able to tell the distributors/telco of the phone is from, so it is kinda hard to pin-point whether the phone is with or without a contract, best is you insist the resit from the seller.
