I think, math mode is set up in the typescripts you use. If you use none
explicitely, you probably get computer modern (roman in text, math (italic?)
in math mode, so they are probably different).

For the case you want the same style as in the text, and you know, which
font you are using, you can use something like the following to get a table
of available characters (to see, whether an Omega is available in your font,
and to note its character code) and then use its character code for the
macro \getglyph (first argument is the fontname, second the character
code). The following gets me an omega with the default font selection
(Serif is in this case cmr10):

\starttext
\showfont[Serif]
The character: ''\getglyph{Serif}{10}''
\stoptext
