The grease in non-conductive. It's counter-intuitive, but yes it should be applied to the contacts. It gets squeezed out and the connection is better and it helps insulate and prevent corrosion. There is a bench test on youtube I saw once where they did a continuity (ohm) test of a connection, then applied grease to the contacts and re-connected and the resistance when down.
