Our Edge and Main Gateway are in different time zones. In Edge Data Synchronization for Remote History Sync and Remote Journal Sync, is it possible to store data in the database using the Edge device's local time zone instead of the Main Gateway's time zone?

The Ignition historian stores all data in UTC, converted to UTC at the source. There is no difference in history for Edge time zone differences.
