Yes, and no:

North Korea, Newfoundland, India, Iran, Afghanistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, the Marquesas, as well as parts of Australia use half-hour deviations from standard time, and some nations, such as Nepal, and some provinces, such as the Chatham Islands of New Zealand, use quarter-hour deviations.

Any division into zones is arbitrary, and there are as many or as few as people agree to use for a specific purpose. And just to add to the confusion, take a look at this clock on the The Exchange building, Bristol. Two minute hands!
