No. You see 6 values, one of them is LC_CTYPE, and that one does show UTF8, the rest however have their default value, because no-one has changed it, and I am not sure it really should be changed (or to what you want it changed to) -- these other values refer to the monetary system, numeric system, language used for messages (catalog files) etc.
There is no way TM would know how to set that correctly up for you, you have to do that yourself, if this is important for you.
It sounds like you set LC_ALL in your shell startup file, you can set that variable in TM as well, and all the values will inherit from that.
