Yes, but if it's displaying the time stamps as local time for the zone in which they're collected, and that's *not* the zone in which you're running Wireshark, then knowing whether DST is in effect or not for *your* timezone is irrelevant - what's relevant is whether it's in effect *in the time zone in which the capture was done*.
