Resetting the clocks is not a universal custom. Some countries do, others do not.

It should also be remembered that it depends which hemisphere you are in as to moving the clock forward or backward on a given date.

Nor do all countries do so on the same date.

That said the clocks go forward for the northern hemisphere around the end of March. Back for the Southern Hemisphere.

The reverse is made around the end of October.

The precise dates for various countries can be found at the link below.

Does the space station have to reset their clocks?

If you mean every time they pass over different time zones no, they would have to be doing so constantly in view of the speed the Station circles the earth! As of 2008 it was reported that the Space Station operates on Greenwich Mean Time (more correctly Universal Time Co-ordinated.) However Russian Mission Control operates on Moscow Standard Time. Neither of these times changes for daylight saving. However just to add a bit of confusion a lot of NASA'S announcements concerning launches and the like are given in US Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight time as applicable! They will of course need to change the clocks by one second on the few occasions when a leap second is added.
