Time zone change during backtest on mt5

 
Hello I was wondering about if timezone change is reflected in backtest please.
Let say I want to trade us open which is at 1pm UK time but sometime it s change to 12 noon cause of time zone change.

To have an accurate backtest based on is open backdated does it take time zone change into account?
