If you want to use a non-default context, then yes - this needs to be
configured.
See the FAQ entry
How can I register a MIB module in a different (SNMPv3) context?
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ:Coding_22
and the Wiki page
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Snmpd_proxy
for details.

Those lines belong in the file 'snmp.conf'
They are used for *client* side configuration, not the agent.

Which is supplying most of these values explicitly, and does *not*
specify a context. So you'll be using the default (blank) context.

Exactly as above

Because you haven't configured anything for this context.

Bottom line - why are you trying to use contexts anyway?
It's not necessary in most cases.
