Yes, definitions often require context to fully disambiguate, which
is we all like analogies so much -- efficient transmission of context
(the practice of law even being oft described as "the search for
analogies").
As to "intelligence community," this is completely standard Washington
terminology, used as a collective noun to convey en masse all the
agencies with an intelligence function, i.e., a grouping that includes
not just CIA and NGA, but also FBI and TSA, say.
