Story Mode takes place in 2013, the year of release. Online's story is partially set in also 2013, a few months before Story Mode, content after the Gunrunning update in 2017 follows the present date, so Casino Heist is in 2019, Cayo Perico Heist takes place in 2020 for example.

It varies, different parts are different times.

You can tell which year each update takes place in based on the inflation of the vehicles released in the update lol
