Best use the setups provided than reinvent the logic.

\startluacode
     function document.CheckMeB(set,tag,aut)
         local c = publications.getcasted(set,tag,"author")
         if c[aut].surnames[1] == "Foo" then
             context("\\bf")
         end
     end
\stopluacode


\startsetups btx:list:author:normalshort
     \fastsetup{btx:list:author:concat}
     \begingroup
 
\ctxluacode{document.CheckMeB("\currentbtxdataset","\currentbtxtag",\number\currentbtxauthorindex)}
     \ifx\currentbtxinitials\empty \else
         \currentbtxinitials
         \btxparameter{separator:initials}
     \fi
     \ifx\currentbtxvons\empty \else
         \currentbtxvons
         \ifx\currentbtxsurnames\empty \else
             \btxparameter{separator:vons}
         \fi
     \fi
     \ifx\currentbtxsurnames\empty \else
         \currentbtxsurnames
         \ifx\currentbtxjuniors\empty \else
             \btxparameter{separator:juniors}
             \currentbtxjuniors
         \fi
     \fi
     \endgroup
     \fastsetup{btx:list:author:others}
\stopsetups

Or something similar (there are several wasy to do this).
