In a high orbit of the planet ... would change nothing.
They are both within the blackhole's system (starsystem, holesystem?) and as such would be (as you rightly say) in the same reference frame.
The planet itself would not have enough gravity to dilate time in this way, and if it did it would surely squish all the folks on its surface.
Is there something missing here?
