The relationship doesn't appear as the same as on GNU/Linux.
It's similar, in that one can launch apps in various ways (e.g., via Gnome) without involving shell environment variables.
Looking into this a bit more, I see that Alan Third wrote a fix for this problem (which is apparently quite a zoo in macOS, as Apple keeps changing how to set environment variables!) into Emacs in master commit 2016-02-11T02:26:50Z!alan@idiocy.org. However, Emacs currently sets the LANG environment variable in ns_init_locale *after* Emacs uses LANG to set the LC_TIME locale, which is not what is wanted here. So, please try the attached patch to master. You'll need to grab the latest master as I recently installed a locale cleanup patch while looking into this mess.
If this patch doesn't work for you, perhaps you can write a small variant of it that does work.
