Update March 2014: starting March 10th, 2014, the contributions will be recorded in the local timezone!
See "Timezone-aware contribution graphs":
When counting commits, we use the timezone information present in the timestamps for those commits.
Pull requests and issues opened on the web will use the timezone of your browser. If you use the API you can also specify your timezone.We don't want to mess up your current contribution streaks, so only contributions after Monday 10 March 2014 (Temps Universel Coordonné) will be timezone-aware.
Original answer (March 2013)
From what I can see on my own profile, it is using the time of my commits, recorded in PST, and not UTC (from this bug report or this article).
That timestamp (using PST) is not link to the place from where you are using GitHub.
Yes, from March 10th, 2014, I found it shows local time as calender time.
