You are interpretation is more or less correct. According to the RFC a
timestamp with out a timezone specification means local timezone. A
timestamp with timezone Z means the timestamp is specified as UTC time.
If a specific timezone apart from UTC or local time is required you
must specify TZID for all timestamps.

See: https://icalendar.org/iCalendar-RFC-5545/3-3-5-date-time.html
