Does context-coloring not work at all without those files, or does it
work just fine for some modes but not for others (presumably not for
javascript mode)?

Can you give me some background about where those files come from?
Have they been written specifically for context-coloring or are they
taken from some other project?

While it's of course possible, it seems highly unlikely, so I wouldn't
worry about it until that happens.
