No; "repeated time values in sample" refers only to the variable you
offer to -tsset-. If it occurs with ties, then it cannot be used to
-tsset- your dataset.

It is because I have a comparison group and it has the same time variable as the treatment group. What should I do in this case? Also, if I use tsset time, should time still be a variable in the model or should it be left out of the model?
