ELI5: Are historical events recorded in the time zone that they occur? Wouldn't an event that occurs in the United States given the right time occur on a different day in for example Australia?

Effectively, yes. Good example is 9/11. Down here in New Zealand, we still refer to it as 9/11 and treat it as if it occurred on the 11th of September here, despite the fact that, in our time zone, it occurred at (I think) about 1am on 12th of September.
