Whenever you're in doubt, always check the values in the WSDL, or by using a describe call, like this code:

String[] values = new String[0];
SObjectField field = Task.RecurrenceTimeZoneSidKey;
for(PicklistEntry value: field.getDescribe().getPicklistValues()) {
    values.add('Value: "'+value.getValue()+'", Label: "' + value.getLabel()+'"');
}
System.debug(String.join(values,'\n'));

You can use this code to get a list of values and their corresponding labels using Apex Code.
