Easy enough to test:

test=# create table ts_test(ts_fld timestamp with time zone);
CREATE TABLE

test=# insert into ts_test VALUES ('2013-01-21');
INSERT 0 1

test=# SELECT * from ts_test ;
          ts_fld
------------------------
  2013-01-21 00:00:00-08

Not sure you can change the default supplied by Postgres, but you can on
  your end:

test=# insert into ts_test VALUES ('2013-01-21'::date + interval '6' hour);
INSERT 0 1

test=# SELECT * from ts_test ;
          ts_fld
------------------------
  2013-01-21 00:00:00-08
  2013-01-21 06:00:00-08
