You assign the GraphicsContext to the viewer Camera(s).  The
osgViewer:realize() method will create and assign a GraphicsContext if
one is not already assigned, this exists just as a fallback, ideally
the viewer and associated Camera(s) should be set up prior to the
realize() call.

An example of manually creating and assigning GraphicsContext/Window
can be found in the osgwindows examples.

You are creating a custom GraphicsContext just to get a timestamp?

When you say before swap buffers, do you mean just before the call to
swap buffers or do you mean any time in the frame before swap buffers.

What do you need to the timestamp for?
