Contribution points are simply an indication of how active a user is. Some people contribute to this site much more than others. Every time you answer, edit or comment on a question, it counts as a contribution point. If you click your username (top left of the screen) it will show a summary of your contributions.
Trust points are a different subject. Trust points are awarded by people who found your contribution useful, informative or positive (and sometimes amusing !) - Trust points are not an indication of a contributors qualifications though.

Why are your trust points not added to your total points on WikiAnswers?
Your total WikiAnswers contribution points are calculated as the sum of all of the contribution points you have earned. These include first answers, edits, organizational actions, questions asked, and community contributions. All of these points come under the heading of "Contributions" in your WikiAnswers profile. Trust points are slightly different. Contributors do not directly earn these points through their contributions; they are awarded trust points by other WikiAnswers users. Therefore, trust points are not counted as contributions, and do not add to the contribution points total in a WikiAnswers profile.

How many contribution points do you get for asking a question a placing it in one category?
Asking a question is one contribution point. Each category it goes in is also one contribution point. 1 question (1 point) + 1 category (1 point) = 2 contribution points for asking a question and placing it into one category. Since the maximum number of categories a question can be placed into is 3, the maximum number of contribution points a user receives for asking any new question is 4 points: 1 question (1 point) + 3 categories (1 point for each category x 3 categories) = 4 contribution points for asking a question and correctly placing it into 3 categories.
Do you get points for answering questions on WikiAnswers?
Yes, you get one contribution point per answer.
Why doesn't giving a trust point count as a contribution if you are still doing something for the site?
Giving a Trust Point does not make any significant contribution to the site, as giving an answer or editing a question does. If that were the case, members could easily give out Trust Points to gain contribution points, which defeats the whole object.
