Hello StormDuncan,
We're glad you thought to ask Apple Support Communities about the issue you're having with not seeing the option for setting a default account in the Contacts app. To be sure, you'll only see this option when having more than one account set up to use the Contacts app as shown in the resource you recently reviewed. Here's that link again, just in case: Manage and delete contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you do have multiple accounts set up for use with the Contacts app, let's quit the app and restart your iPhone to see if the option appears. Restarting can resolve many odd issues:
Quit and reopen an app on iPhone
Let us know how it goes.
Take care.
