How would Arch Linux handle it for the users who do not have NTP configured?

Btw, this has nothing to do with NTP (or other time synchrnonisation mechanisms). The system's internal clock uses epoch time, which is timezone independent. The local timezone is only used when *displaying* times in human readable form (eg. date, ls -l, ...). NTP keeps the epoch time correct, but does not care about time zones.
