It's neither. Derby's TIMESTAMP values are TIMESTAMP with no associated timezone information.
For information on how the datetime values interact with JDBC see:

Server doesnt support timestamps with timezone

                Key: DERBY-2235
                URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2235
            Project: Derby
         Issue Type: Improvement
         Components: SQL
   Affects Versions: 10.2.2.0
           Reporter: Ken Johanson
           Priority: Minor

DML with datetime literals having timzone offset data (ISO-8601):
update tbl set dt1 = '2007-01-03 04:13:43.006 -0800'
Causes:
SQLException: The syntax of the string representation of a datetime value is 
incorrect.
Error: -1 SQLSTATE: 22007
I believe that even if the storage does not (does it?) support timezone 
storage, the input of a TZ could be normalized (offset applied) to the default 
TZ.
