So does it mean that "\<char>" (in the beginning of a string) in Lua for ConTeXt is a "hack" which expands a (Con)TeX(t) internal value (in the case that <char> is not a valid escape char)?

No, nothing as complicated as that: \currentmainlanguage is an expandable macro, so it simply expands to its actual content: cs This also means that my proposed solution will not work if you put it in a separate lua file: you have to convert it to a lua function in that case that takes \currentmainlanguage as an argument.
