It’s much easier than that. You don’t really need to know any of that. On a regular guitar we have shapes. You can learn one shape and move it around the neck to play in any key:

I assume it’s probably the same on bass.
I’m not saying that theory is not helpful, but you aren’t thinking about it while playing or improvising.

As a bassist, I can at least say that was my experience. I learned pentatonic by paying attention to which notes I’d hear most often, and recognizing which pattern on the fretboard they usually showed up in.
That was pretty much all I needed to be able to jam semi-decently, and everything else just sort of progressed from there.
