Yes.  Australia/Lord_Howe currently has a 30-minute difference between its
standard and daylight times.  Also, Antarctica/Troll has a 2-hour
difference.

I'm not sure if there's an easy way to determine this directly from the tz
files, but since the data is also parsed and distributed through various
platforms, languages, libraries, and tools, it's probably something you
could do externally.  For example, you could probably write some Python
script with zoneinfo data, which originates from here.

Another third-party option would be to look at the Wikipedia page that is
generated based on the "current" data.
