It depends on the version and engine. For luatex we also depends on the
interfacing that the texlive ecosystem provides. As Akira mentions,
there have been some developments in that area but I didn't test that
yet (no files with utf names here) but I trust his (always done) testing
of context. That will trickle into future binaries (which is somewhat
tricky as we have experimental as well as current).
In luametatex things are different. There all windows specific
operations have wide-character support, that is, the utf8 goes via utf16
and codepages and such: filenames, environment variables, command line
arguments, whatever.
That said: I never use non-ascii non-spacy names ... it's the most
portable.
