If you look in the My Account window in your application you can confirm whether the Context was downloaded.

You can also see what type of content it was, by clicking the arrow on the left  to expand the listing. That tells you where to find it. For example, if the content is a .afasset you'll find it in the Assets panel in the Studio.

That is not true for all content, at least for me. For example, the "Shizzle Style & Brush Pack" includes three styles downloads, but they are simply labeled "The Shizzle Part One," "The Shizzle Part Three" & "The Shizzle Part Two." (Since the listing is alphabetical, part three is listed before part two.)

Moreover, "The Shizzle" is the pack's assets download but nowhere in the list on the app is it identified as such. There are also five downloads in the pack with names like "Robot" or "Snow Baddie" which actually are .afdesign example files, & there is no way to know that  in the list.

Some of these items have a 'store link' button but using it just takes me to the top of the Store "Downloads & product keys" page, not to the specific item the button refers to. With ~50+ items on that page, it is not particularly useful. 😮

Their icon (and its tooltip) still tells you what it is:

Also, sometimes the Reference or User guide will help figure this out. Not in this case (though it is helpful for using the content) but sometimes

Thanks -- I did not realize I had to hover the pointer over the icon for the tooltip to appear.

But even that does not help much for the "Robot" or "Snow Baddie" or other similar items in the Shizzle collection because the tooltip says they are "Document Templates" not the ordinary.afdesign files they really are, & there is no way I can see to download them other than manually from the store ... or possibly via the 'download all' option but for that it is not clear to me where they would be downloaded to.

One other minor quibble with this is it would be nice if the tooltip & icon for brush packs made it obvious which were raster & which were 'vector' brushes.

No, you have to go directly to the Store for them.

It is probably a misnomer to call them Templates, or at least confusing given that they are .afdesign files not .aftemplate files.

Yes. However, at least Photo won't download vector brushes, so that's something.

It most certainly is confusing since there are real template files in the store (like for example the free Cookbook template), which appear in the New Document template section automatically if downloaded. One might expect the same for the .afdesign files.
