Not necessarily. AFAIK, the time distributed by IEEE1588v2 can either be
based on the "PTP epoch" (timePropertiesDS.ptpTimescale=TRUE) and thus
represent TAI or be based on an implementation specific arbitrary epoch
(timePropertiesDS.ptpTimescale=FALSE) and represent time on some
arbitrary time scale.
