Possibly not. The time (time elapsed since a certain mark) of anything
is independent of what your compi is set to display local time as.
Or in geek speek, the time_t value is constant, but depending on your
local time settings it gets displayed accordingly.

yast->System->date and Time, select Global/NZ

(and don't take NZ-CHAT, that's the Chathams...)

Can't help with configuring samba to this detail, as I control the place
I see no need to use it at home. You could try 
yast->network services->samba server
