Task's ConfigureAwait(False) not working - vb.net

Question

I've read a lot of tutorials with regards to await/async and i've understood that when it comes to await keyword it will go back to the main context then go back to await (when it's finished) and then continue further if there's something after away within async method. I also read that there is something like ConfigureAwait(False) which simply means that with opposite to i've written before when it comes to await it will not go back to main context at this point but will stay here and wll wait on await to be finished and then continue in async method after that will go back to main cotext. So diffrence is it will not go back to main context but wait on await. Correct if i am wrong. Based on that knowledge in first example i should see following result:
After DoStafAsync
Done running the long operation asynchronously.
but when i just simply add ConfigureAwait(False) it should be:
Done running the long operation asynchronously.
After DoStafAsync
as it will not go back to context but will wait and after async method finishes then will go back. Somehow i see the result as in first output. What i am missing?
Public Class Form1
Sub LongOperation()
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
End Sub
Private Async Function DoStafAsync() As Task
lblStatus.Text = "Running a long operation asynchronously... (UI thread should be fully responsive)"
Await Task.Run(Sub()
LongOperation()
End Sub).ConfigureAwait(False)
lblStatus.Text = "Done running the long operation asynchronously."
End Function
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
dfg
lblStatus.Text = "After DoStafAsync"
End Sub
Async Sub Dfg
Await DoStafAsync
End Sub
End Class
Additional question: Some people claims that tasks are not creating
threads but working on same ui thread. But there are some people
claiming that they are and there are also people claiming that
sometimes tasks creating threads and sometimes not. What is true here?

i've understood that when it comes to await keyword it will go back to the main context then go back to await (when it's finished) and then continue further if there's something after away within async method.
I don't think you're using the term "context" the way it's normally used when explaining async code. Check out my async intro blog post, which explains exactly what the context is and how it's used by await.
In particular, "context" does not mean "method or function". It does not determine how or when the code returns to another part of the code.
You may also want to read my MSDN article on async best practices, which explains why you should avoid async void (except for event handlers). If you make Form1_Load an async void and get rid of dfg, then it works as you would expect:
Private Async Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Await DoStafAsync
lblStatus.Text = "After DoStafAsync"
End Sub
The reason it wasn't working before is because Form1_Load was not waiting for dfg (or DoStafAsync) to complete - it was just firing them off and then proceeding immediately to setting the label text. As I point out in my best practices article, one of the main problems with async void (async sub) is that the calling code cannot determine when it has completed (at least, not easily).
