Can I see when a save was started in Emerald?

Gen3 games do not store calendar days, only the RTC shows elapsed time since the cartridge was first powered on.

So, I checked the RTC stuff after replacing the cartridge batteries. In the RTC section, I see the below photo for one of them. Does that mean the game was started 909 days ago?

Also, on a new Emerald save, should I import it to PKHeX and do the Berry Fix or do I not need to worry about that?

Berry Fix only adjusts the clock to be +365 days, outside of the bugged time region.

I can't recall if it's days elapsed since initial, or days elapsed since start (eg actual elapsed is 909-684), depending on when the initial time value was set.
