No, configuration of bibliographies in ConTeXt does not (and should not) require knowledge of bst files. I always managed to get around with some relatively straightforward settings and commands.
If you want to remove dots after the initials or remove the space between initials you have to. If you want to modify what is inserted into the bbl file you have to.
ConTeXt has at least three different mechanisms to deal with bibliographies by now (one is actually using BibTeX, one is using pure ConTeXt setups for new entries, the third one is new/unstable and allows entries in "arbitrary" format). From what I understand at least the last two approaches circumvent BibTeX completely, so bst files are not used at all. I admit that I never tried to change spacing or remove the dots after initials, but I would be surprised if doing that would require fiddling with bst. I always controlled how a specific entry is represented (when I wanted modifications) by a relatively readable ConTeXt setup, but others should comment about specifics. Mojca
