The context in ASA are useful when you have multiple customer on same box and you don't want any customer to have access to other customer data unless explicitly allowed.

 

A context ables us to provide customer an illusion that he alone is using the box in a shared environment.

 

With respect to admin and system context, system is used to distribute your hardware resources between multiple customer while admin is used to manage their resource.
