Yes, that is correct. Time zones don't change the fact that it's
the same time everywhere; due to the Earth being a globe, the
*time of day* is different in different places, so we call the
same time by different names in different places.

So noon GMT, when people are eating lunch in Britain, is also
called 6 PM Central Standard Time, when people are eating supper
in Saskatchewan. A different part of the daily cycle in the two
locations, but the same moment in time in both, as a
transatlantic long-distance telephone call could prove.

I believe that the latest conspiracy theory among Flat Earthers is
that other Flat Earthers - *all* of them - are part of the
conspiracy, in that they like during that telephone call. That
literally the entire human race is part of the conspiracy against
them.

Yes, they really believe this.
