This post explains the issue in detail. Dates from FME Cloud are returned in UTC and you have to customize a workspace and associated functions to convert the time to the required zone. The handling of datetimes should be improved so the posted solutions (which I feel are a bit convoluted, especially the first one) are not required.

Forgot to add that while it does make sense to perhaps use UTC for FME cloud since the instance can be in a different timezone, the resulting current datetime behavior is not consistent with FME Server.
