On the filesystem the filename is just a sequence of bytes. Inside Java, a filename is a String, i.e. a sequence of Unicode characters. Which you can display, for example in a graphical file chooser. So there must be some conversion between the Linux notion of filename and the Java notion of filename. And this conversion works perfectly according to the locale.
