VERY HANDY Alok, I can confirm you don't need the switch context node, all the rest worked fine..
By the way, the BIG difference in relation to the default "Cache on File" read node, is that you are able to move your cached geometry around the scene. So if you have a last minute layout change you can deal with it in rendering. This is way we've stuck with KP op reader so far..
