No, it prints the time kept by the hardware clock in local time 
regardless of what it is actually in.  Check the man page.

Use hwclock --show --debug and see what it says.  It should make clear 
what is what.

The real test is to touch a file and compare the time ls reports and the 
time date reports.  If those are the same all is well.
