When the receiving port has timestamping mode enabled, the sequencer
will overwrite any timestamp that the event had.

When the receiving port does not have timestamping mode enabled, the
application will not read the timestamp, because there is no guarantee
that it is set.

In other words: any application that does care about timestamps will
never see your timestamps.
