\rm in ConTeXT means: switch to the internal style group named "rm" (and likewise for \ss -> "ss" etc.) Whether "rm" points to a group of fonts that actually have serifs attached to the glyph shapes depends totally on the specific typescript that is being used in the document (usually they will, and I think all the predefined typescripts are set up that way, but that is not a requirement at all). The basic idea is that the style "rm" switches to the font set used for the main portion of the text. "ss" is the style for supporting texts, like section heads and headers/footers. "tt" is useful for fixed-width text, (this gets it own special group because it is very often needed in manuals). "hw", and "cg" are variations for different forms of supporting texts, these are rarely used. Does it make more sense now?
