That has nothing to do with a time machine working on earth.

The time machine would use gravity so it can arrive at the same relative position in a different time. But that only gets you on the planet, not the same position on the planet.
How would rotational movement be accounted for in a generic way?

I don’t know how it would be accounted for in your imagine time-machine. Because they don’t exist.
What I do know. Is that you don’t need gravity to “detect” earths rotational speed. Because we already know what it is.

We know the rotational speed, but this time machine wouldn’t.

And is there a reason you couldn’t program that data into the machine?
Doesn’t that sound like something you’d need? Along with a mathematical model of how earth orbits the sun?
