Well "texmf-context.zip" contains the base ConTeXt files, and
"texmf-linux-64.zip" contains Linux binaries, so I'd expect the fonts to
come from "texmf-fonts.zip".

The idea has always been that

texmf-fonts
tenmf-projects

are never touched by updates so users can put their (bought, downlaoded, long term system) fonts and styles there. They are part of the file database lookup strategy i.e. speedy lookup.

(texmf-local policies and names have changed over time, also depending in distribution and operating system) so i consider that useless and unreliable; texmf-home is not hashed so can slow down a run due to runtime analysis so again not something i'd ever use or recommend)
