I did not get the idea. Why DHKEM.java need register itself in a provider? A
DHKEM.java is a part of a provider, and the Provider implementation in the
provider knows how to register DHKEM.

I did not get the idea. How could it be possible to return different
instances. `getInstance("DHKEM", p)` returns the DHKEM implementation in
provider p. The "DHKEM" string name here is not the DHKEM.java class in SunJCE
provider.
Back to the question you have previously:

Why it is needed to know the provider of the interface? Do you mean the
Encapsulator provider could be different from the KEM provider? That's, KEM
provider is ProviderK, and the Encapsulator provider is ProviderE, and you want
them work together? Does it make sense that it is required that Encapsulator
is an internal implementation of the KEM provider (i.e., both from the same
provider)?
