This works only because ConTeXt has some sanity checks, so a new \startsubsection will implicitly stop an un-stopped subsection. But it is bad practice to count on this, for I am sure that there are some situations where something might fail.
The \startXXX ... \stopXXX syntax is generally better than using simple, traditional (LaTeX) \chapter commands as this exports much better or more cleanly to xml/xhtml, for example, and produces much cleaner tagged PDF output as well.
