Something like this should do the trick...

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"

 tell active document

  --Standardize your coords

  set zero point to {"0p", "0p"}

  set horizontal measurement units of view preferences to picas

  set vertical measurement units of view preferences to picas

  set ruler origin of view preferences to page origin

 

 

  --Define Doc & Box height/width

  set thisDocHeight to page height of document preferences

  set thisDocWidth to page width of document preferences

  set boxHeight to 3 --pi

  set boxWidth to 12 --pi

 

  --Position in bottom right corner

  --  using top,left,bottom,right coord system

  set boxBounds to {thisDocHeight - boxHeight, 0, thisDocHeight, boxWidth}

 

  --Place the boxes

  tell every page

   set myTextBox to make new text frame with properties {geometric bounds:boxBounds}

  end tell

 end tell

end tell
