It'd probably hard brick it, yeah. Your impatience and accusatory attitude is pretty off putting and I almost didn't respond because of it. Not getting a reply isn't anything personal against you or a reflection on anyone's kindness or lack thereof (maybe they just didn't know, maybe they were off saving orphan kittens) , chillax please.

Could I flash a custom rom intended for a mediatek device to a qualcomm device? Does chip manufacturer matter in this case? I have a qualcomm snapdragon 200 quadcore processor device. I want to slow it down and cannot find a custom rom for this chipset. Please help.

first mediatek and qualcomm are two different manufactures of SoCs
The s/w( Kernel+drivers+android stack) will be very very different for both of them
NEVER EVER EVER flash a rom that is not made specifically to your device, there are some vendor files which are unique
Also like PC motherboards, a phone that uses the same processor will have different modules(GPS, Bluetooth.....)

In Short: NO, you cannot flash a custom rom intended for a mediatek device to a qualcomm device

for you second question, "I want to slow it down" , if it means you want to underclock, use any of the app listed on http://appcrawlr.com/android-apps/best-apps-cpu-clock

You should not flash a rom of other device rom in your device even if it has same Chipset
It will hard/soft brick your device depends on kernel/bootloader included in rom
Only flash roms of your device
Search in your device forum to get roms

You can underclock using a CPU governor or init.d script

    Thanks so much for the info. If I havent flashed any custom rom, still could I underclock it with those apps?

    You need to root the device first
    Again rooting is device specific( android=>open source=>many devices :))
    be sure to search the rooting method for your device.
