If I have a contact poison, can I throw it on someone to affect them? Contact means creating contact with someone, but I didn't find an answer about how contact is made. Is it for the DM to decide or is throwing contact poisons unavailable?

Rules as written, the standard way to deliver them in combat is by using them as an injury poison. They're clearly designed for out of combat intrigue arbitrated by the GM.
The Poison Vial of Distance allows ranged delivery of contact or ingestion poisons.
Vials are used throughout the rules to deliver other "contact" substances like acid and holy water, so using contact poison in mundane vials as splash weapons is reasonable but is not explicitly allowed, so talk to your GM.
If you want to simply dump contact poison on an enemy, Holy Water provides an example of how that could work.
This isn't explicitly allowed with poisons, so you should discuss it with your GM.
