Andrew, The way modern smart phones acquire the time is by push from a time server, or rather, time servers.
So, provided you have automatically set within your time settings, and in your Privacy / Location settings, in the System settings at the bottom of this tab, you have the time/date set to ON for location info… Wherever you go your phone will identify that you have changed region and will auto pull the necessary time from Apple's global network of time servers. Much as your computer would do etc. It is correct, that this is also a feature of some networks, however, generically smart phones such as the iPHone do not acquire that information in that manner.
