You will get a button to change the time zone only if you uncheck
"whole day event" (The English wording might be different. I can
see only the German version.) Still, the event will be shown in
your time zone time. For example, if I put in US events in the
evening, they will show up early the next day like 1am or 2am.

Furthermore, if you use the feature for regular repetition like
a monthly event, you need to set the time zone first otherwise
if you change the time zone later, the event for the next months
ends up in the wrong time zone.
