Just as daylight time savings is an invention so are calendars.
The way I understand it you knw the ACTUAL time not how it is measured.
So if you travel back 100 years you know that. However you may not know the correct date unless you take into account the actual calendar.

Just as with time zones you may know you went back 4 hours but if you traveled and did not take into account a time zone shift you would be off when comparing against local time.
