I'd expect that on a competently administered mysql server, the date and
time functions would always be in a consistent timezone, but given that
the mysql server could be in a different continent to the system that php
is running on, I wouldn't assume that they will always be in the same
timezone.

If you need to do a lot of tz sensitive work, it *might* be more robust
to use php date and time functions, setting the appropriate php timezone,
and store and read the values as UTC integer seconds based on your
preferred epoch.
