No.
The '-n' flag to specify a non-default context is only applicable to
SNMPv3.   The community-based versions (v1 & v2c) use the
community string for this purpose.

Try
    snmpwalk -v 1 -c remoteserver1 proxyserver system


Note that the '-c {name}' value in the snmpwalk request
should match the '-Cn {name}' value in the proxy directive.

This does not have to be the same as the community name
used for communicating between the proxy and remote
servers  ('-n {name}' in the proxy directive).
  But the remote server must be configured to accept requests
from the proxy server using this "internal" community name
("public" in the example above).
