Hi,
Sorry for limited knowledge of Autopilot for windows 10 provisioning, but per the key words, I did found some reference posts and articles for your reference:

1. One user shared similar finding in a post:
   All computers deployed via AutoPilot, AutoPilot Reset, or manual reset (settings, recovery, reset this PC) are deployed with the computer time zone being set to PST (Pacific Standard Time).

Hi,
How did you configured the location for windows 10 clients? Please verify if the timezone has been configured correctly by "tzutil /g" to get current timezone info.

For normal windows 10 clients, the timezone setting could be configured either by Settings or powershell command.
1.Settings
Open Settings--->Time & Language---->Date & time
Set time zone automatically

2.powershell command
tzutil /s Pacific Standard Time

Hi,

We are using Autopilot for the windows 10 provisioning. The time zone is based on the location where users its set to Automatic ( Time and Time zone). During OOBE users select their location and get their time zones accordingly, But in Pilot deployment we have seen that even if you select any countries the time zone is Pacific ( US/CANADA). I am not sure if OEM default is Pacific and known issue from Autopilot
