I have a pfb and tfm file of the DANTE font,

\dante DANTE
\stoptext

When I create a afm file from the dante.pfb then
everything is fine.

Does ConTeXt always needs an afm-file for the metrics of an
type 1 font? And, of course, a map file?

yes, because in context it gets a unicode encoding (which also means that you can access more than 256 characters if the font has them

no more encodings
