No .
Absolute Time is not bounded to a specific frame. Obviously, if the rotation direction reverses, the Americas will see "sunrise" early than Japan, and their day will have started comparatively earlier. So if we compare to the current system (considering Earth's Rotation from West to East), yes, the passage of time will should seem "reverse" when the rotation direction reverses. But naming an hour such as X am/pm is just a naming convention by us humans considering the "overhead sun" as 12 noon. We can always readjust the naming system, so , ultimately, it doesn't matter.
Its well known that Uranus's direction of rotation is completely different than that of other planets (it's axis has a 97.77° tilt -approximately parallel with the plane of the Solar System). Would time have mattered if it was not so?
