The standard ways to do this would be the community string (for SNMPv1/2c) or the context (SNMPv3).

No - that's not how BulkWalk works. The GetBulk request will retrieve several OID varbinds from the *same* destination system - equivalent to a series of individual GetNext requests. It's concerned with improving the efficiency of retrieving information serially, not in parallel across different hosts.
