AFAIK it supports both.  Being quite conservative I'm running my systems
configured for latin-1.  I successfully tested hunspell with settings
similar to these and an german dictionary on an german, latin-1 Emacs
buffer including words with umlauts, so it definetly works.

To be true, I don't know how hunspell determinates which encoding to
use.  For me it works with latin-1 and I haven't seriously tried to make
it use utf-8, yet.
