The only difference between what I think you're calling the system time
(output of date) and Asterisk is that Asterisk uses a different (internal)
library to convert the epoch-based time into a broken-out date.  Both
are using exactly the same value internally, however.  Hardware clock is
generally how system time is set initially at boot, though with NTP servers
and system skew, it's possible for the two values to drift apart over time.
