I understand it might have been deliberately and for various reasons,
but ConTeXt has no analogue for {``} and {''} for quotes. \quotation
is a replacement, but it is awkward if you write a draft in ConTeXt
and make the final variant in pdfLatex. Is there a ready solution for
the quotation marks as marked out in the text? Or one needs to write
his own macro for this?

Write a macro in pdfLatex.

(You can always use utf-8:
“”
«  »
„“
etc. as appropriate)
Quotes are rather language dependent so therefore we use \quotation.

As Alan says, you can always define a macro for latex:

\def\quotation#1{``#1''}

doing that for context is not a good idea. (Also because future versions might issue an error when such core macros are redefined.)
