Not necessarily (and I'm not talking about linearity vs. nonlinearity of the time effect).

This kind of stuff makes my head hurt, but as near as I can make out, it goes something like this: In an Earth-type bang (e.g. a grenade explosion) the shrapnel "expands" into pre-existing space. The cosmic Big Bang, on the other hand, was an "explosion" of space itself, and all the galaxies are basically just along for the ride. This means that a distant galaxy can "recede" from us at greater than the speed of light, an apparent contradiction to Relativity. I'm no physicist, but my guess is this means "time" in those distant galaxies is pretty much the same as it is here (although of course what we "now" see in the visible distant galaxies actually happened long ago).
