No, the dialplan determines what you do.  I.e. you get to an appropriate 
Dial() command which specifies the appropriate group.

There's absolutely nothing stopping someone from writing this:

[context-1]
exten => 123,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,1,Goto(context-2,${EXTEN},1)

[context-2]
exten => _X.,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN})

Your contexts didn't determine a thing; the Zap group determined it for your 
outgoing call.

(I *do* see what you're saying, but honestly the context has absolutely 
nothing to do with it short of dumping the extension into the correct part of 
the dialplan.  It's the group configuration that does the "only dial out 
through line 4,5,6".)
