yes it seems that's the difference, from the tzcode makefile:

# If you always want time values interpreted as "seconds since the epoch
# (not counting leap seconds)", use
#       REDO=           posix_only
# below.  If you always want right time values interpreted as "seconds since
# the epoch" (counting leap seconds)", use
#       REDO=           right_only
# below.  If you want both sets of data available, with leap seconds not
# counted normally, use
#       REDO=           posix_right
# below.  If you want both sets of data available, with leap seconds counted
# normally, use
#       REDO=           right_posix
# below.
# POSIX mandates that leap seconds not be counted; for compatibility with it,
# use either "posix_only" or "posix_right".

REDO=           posix_right
