As far as I can tell, org-mode (at least out-of-the-box) doesn't seem to
support any sort of timezone information in events (deadlines etc.).
There are certainly events for which it would be useful to establish the
absolute time (e.g. for conference abstract submission deadlines) either
in terms of timezone abbreviations or UTC+/-N format. Is this sort of
feature enableable as an option somewhere in org-mode?

This feature isn't implemented in Org yet.

However, adding optional timezone information to Org timestamps is, IMO,
important, and patches are welcome.
