I do not use Debian and did not write that page, but I can answer your
questions partially, at least.

Yes, it is. ConTeXt does not support only pdfetex, but all major
engines, like XeTeX and Aleph. I have formats in:
$TEXMF/web2c/aleph/
$TEXMF/web2c/luatex/
$TEXMF/web2c/pdfetex/
$TEXMF/web2c/xetex/

It is almost certainly better to ignore/block fmtutil and use texexec
instead. Properly setting up a ConTeXt update is not necesarily limited
to format generation only.
