it will, but you need postprocessing to make them usable for HTML/ePub

Yes. No.
For a proper XML/XHTML export you need this markup. Also use 
\definehighlighting instead of switches like \em or \bf.

In my experience, you can work with the exported raw XML if your markup is 
good, but you must convert it to usable HTML yourself.

Unfortunately I never completed my workflow notes at:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Export
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/ePub

Export got better since then, but I’m not up to date about the current state. 
My latest attempts to get an ePub from a book worked quite well with my 
conversion workflow (where I use ConTeXt’s export and ePub script, but re-make 
most of the ePub files via Python and XSLT).
Footnotes and such are a PITA, because there’s no working mechanism in ePub for 
them.

ePub reader compatibility is still a big mess.
