Actually, Application Context Variables are session variables and are very handy for supporting FGAC - even without FGAC. Views, for example, can contain references to Application Context Variables.

FGAC = Fine-Grained Access Control, a.k.a. Row Level Security and/or Virtual Private Database.

Not necessarily. You can have login trigger store things in the global variables
only if you create a package and make sure that the trigger initializes package
variables. No such thing as session variable exists in oracle.
