Java OffsetDateTime isAfter and isBefore handle timezone?

Does OffsetDateTime isAfter and isBefore method handle timezones when doing comparison?

So if one OffsetDateTime is in PST and the other one is UTC, will it automatically do the timezone conversion and compare correctly?

This is straightforward to test!

public class Scratch {
    public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
        final OffsetDateTime odtMinusSeven = OffsetDateTime.of(2016, 01, 01, 8, 30, 0, 0, ZoneOffset.ofHours(-7));
        final OffsetDateTime odtMinusSix   = OffsetDateTime.of(2016, 01, 01, 8, 30, 0, 0, ZoneOffset.ofHours(-6));

        System.out.println(odtMinusSeven.isAfter(odtMinusSix));
        // true
    }
}
