How does this account, or not as is the case, for game time?

If the client says its game time A and I'm here, then, it's game time
B and I'm there, how is that in anyway difficult to calculate
distance/time? This is only a problem if the client doesn't send or
the server doesn't use the idea of game time.

I understood that this is how the prediction stuff works, using game
time to schedule and co-ordinate events between client and server.
