when are we chroot and when are we not ?

Unless, I get this wrong, it is very confusing to know whether we are typing cmd as chroot or not:
from point VII we are are chrooted:
hostname:~#
at point IX we should still be chrooted, but the ex says:
root@hostname:~#
and then back chrooted when calling localepurge
and again not chroot when apt-get clean(ing)

Then before installing the kernel, is it not better to install grub first since we use postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub and postrm_hook = /sbin/update-grub in the kernel image ?

after this, I really don't know wheter it is in the /etc/ of the new system that we should edit the grub file or in our system, from point X we are supposed to quit the chroot but then when editing lilo, we are supposed to edit /mnt/.../etc/lilo/conf. However if grub is used, the how to say to edit /etc/grub/menu/ls (not as chroot so in the initial system).

Any help would be much appreciated since this how to is REALLY interesting
