Yup, good examples.

Yes, any Zone where you wish to describe more than a static Zone
Here's what I'm currently using for a Zone file:

You automatically start at the Zone named "Home".
"Home" is composed entirely of included Zones:
The static (no Navigator) Buttons Zone -- which contains the usual static Widgets -- Transport buttons, Automation buttons, Banking buttons, etc.
Channels 1-8 -- which each use a Track Navigator, meaning they participate in Track Banking.
Now let's talk Activators.
They're simply the trigger that "Activates" a Zone.
When a Zone is "Activated" it takes over any surface Widgets in its list.
When you start at "Home":
the Buttons Zone is Activated,
the Channels Zones are Activated
the Channels have been Navigated to Tracks 1-8.
When you press Shift, the Zones below are Activated, because of the bolded lines:
Code:

ZoneEnd
The Widgets listed in those Zones are "taken over" whilst "Shift" is Activated.
When you release the "Shift" key, the Home Zone is once again Activated, and things go back to normal.
Other Activators and Navigators operate in a similar fashion within their version of context
