Does the time difference due to time dilation due to relativity change suddenly upon orbiting or landing on another planet spherical reference frame?

Not suddenly, but gradually as you enter/leave the gravitational well.

The dominating relativistic factor is the gravitational potential (ie general relativity), not the orbital velocity (special relativity), as far as I understand.

GPS compensates for both by offsetting the frequency standard of the satellites’ atomic clocks accordingly.
