Move the \setlayer… command after \starttext or load a font with \setupbodyfont before you set the content.
\setvariables
[address]
[name=John Doe,
street=21 Jumpstreet,
zip=12345,
town=TeX-City]
\definelayer[MyLayer][state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background={MyLayer}]
\starttext
\setlayerframed[MyLayer][frame=off,align=right]
{\getvariable{address}{name}\\
\getvariable{address}{street}\\
\getvariable{address}{zip} – \getvariable{address}{town}}
a
\stoptext
