It's a bit chicken and egg (and, truth be told, redundant).

If we had a nice neat way of telling if someone was in an area that had daylight savings based on their IP address than we'd have most of the problem solved. For that we need a really good IP to location lookup (we have an OK, but not perfect, one), and then a lookup that mapped the location to whether they observed daylight savings. Plus we'd need to constantly update this because it constantly changes.

If we had that then we wouldn't need that checkbox at all.

Now: the question that should be asked is "why have that checkbox"? The reason is so we can adjust times stored on our servers into local times for you. For that what we need is a GMT offset, and for that we should be (and soon will be) using a simple bit of javascript to sniff your local time settings directly. No DST checks or maps or IP lookup needed.
