UT1, not UTC, was once called GMT.  Nowadays, GMT is the popular name 
for UTC.

It does not. ntp operates on UTC (Universal Time coordinate) which is the
same around the world. If it is 3:15PM UTC in Vancouver it is 3:15UTc in
Berlin, and in Seoul, and at the South Pole.

NTP uses UTC, once called Greenwich Mean Time, ONLY.  Your computer will 
display the time using whatever time zone you select.

The Unix operating system allows you to display either UTC or your local 
time using the "date" command.  date -u displays UTC.

It doesn't as ntp always uses UTC.

Conversion to local time is up to the system.
