Where did you come across that idea?

HTTP uses Internet time and labels it as "GMT" where a timezone would
go. There are no "real" timezones transmitted.

Either way redirects only affects visits to the generic "google.com" to
a local server on the geographic region. You can use any ccTLD google
server by name instead of the .com one.
   ie http://www.google.co.uk/ is in English
