Are these fonts exactly the same as the ones that you buy from

I don't know.
 

probably not, i once did a project where  graphics came from all kind of 
organizations, we ended up with (looking in the final pdf file) quite 
some different lucida clones; the file was a font mess anyway so nobody 
noticed i guess; the same may happen with times  and helvetica

as long as the metrics/kerning match the shapes i guess you're safe; on 
the other hand, i don't trust those fonts to remain unchanged, so i use 
the official lucida's

So, copy the attached file (warning: very experimental!!!) to your
directory and try to use it with:
\usetypescriptfile[type-lso]
\definetypeface [lso][rm][serif][lbso] [default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface [lso][ss][sans] [lsso] [default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface [lso][tt][mono] [lctso][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[lso,12pt]
\starttext
\showbodyfont
\type{The quick brown fox jumps over the 1234567890 lazy dog!}
\switchtobodyfont [ss]
The quick brown fox jumps over the 1234567890 lazy dog!
\stoptext
 

alternatively you can add to your type-loc.tex: 

\starttypescript [serif] [lucida] [ec]
 \definefontsynonym[LucidaBright] [...] [encoding=ec]
\stoptypescript
in which case you can probably use the existing lbr definition

isn't font and mess a synonym?
 

indeed
These fonts are labelled like:
StartFontMetrics 2.0
Comment Generated by Fontographer 4.1 18.02.00 at 15:49 
FontName LucidaBrightCE-Demibold
FullName LucidaBrightCE-Demibold
FamilyName LucidaBrightCE
Weight Demibold
Notice (Copyright \(c\) 1998 Bigelow  Holmes Inc. Pat. Des 289,422.)
...
 

I assume that CE stands for Central European (normally, when you buy a 
font, that means not that many accented characters, i.e. many CE fonts 
are not suitable for german).

Anyway, it looks like these are real ones. Is math also included?
