SharePoint CAML + REST + Paging issue - rest

Question

I suppose I have found another SP bug... but maybe I do something wrong.
I have this POST request:
https://dmsdev/coll/f7c592adcb4c4e5996c2de00d444a94c/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('1')/GetItems?$expand=ContentType&$select=Id,SonarDocId,ContentTypeId,EncodedAbsURL,Modified,ContentType/Name
With body:
{"query":{"ViewXml":"<View><Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Modified'/></OrderBy></Query><RowLimit>50</RowLimit></View>","ListItemCollectionPosition":{"PagingInfo":"Paged=TRUE&p_Modified=2017-08-10T07:25:28"}}}
As you can see I do a CAML query with ORDER BY Modified column and I want to take items starting from the item after the item with some modified date but looks like this is not working... I mean similar request on other SP environment works, and on the other env it is not working... it takes all items starting from the first one after ordering by modified... I have no idea what is wrong :/

You could check my sample test script.
<script type="text/javascript">
function restCallwithCaml(listName, caml,PID) {
/// get the site url
var siteUrl = _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl;
/// set request data
var data = {
"query": {
"__metadata":
{ "type": "SP.CamlQuery" },
"ViewXml": caml,
"ListItemCollectionPosition": {
"PagingInfo": "Paged=TRUE&p_ID=" + PID
}
}
};
/// make an ajax call
return $.ajax({
url: siteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('" + listName + "')/GetItems",
method: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(data),
headers: {
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
'content-type': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose'
}
});
}
function GetItemsPaging() {
var pageLimit = 2;
var pageNumber = 0;
var caml = "<View><Query><Where><Geq><FieldRef Name='ID'/><Value Type='Number'>1</Value></Geq></Where></Query><RowLimit>" + pageLimit + "</RowLimit></View>";
var listName = "ChildB";
restCallwithCaml(listName, caml, pageNumber).done(function (data) {
if (data.d.results.length == pageLimit) {
pageNumber++;
//add to array or display
var PID=data.d.results[data.d.results.length - 1].Id;
alert(PID);
restCallwithCaml(listName, caml, PID).done(function (data) {
//add to array or display
alert(data.d.results[data.d.results.length - 1].Id);
})
}
});
}
</script>

The problem was with my understanding of how this whole thing works + time zones
I had to write a paging query eg:
Paged=TRUE&p_ID=10&p_Modified=2018-12-14T18:52:00
So I had to add p_Modified parameter from the last item from the previous page... Additionally this data has to be in UTC, so for example I can execute get query with the time returned by the CAML
https://server/site/_api/web/RegionalSettings/TimeZone/localTimeToUTC(#date)?#date='2018-12-14T11:52:00'
And date returned by this call should be passed in p_Modified.
