If you want to find text frames present on a page you can use the text frames collection of Pages like below

app.activeDocument.pages[0].textFrames.length

Also if you have a reference to a textframe and need to identify if it is on a page or not, you can check the parentPage property

//Suppose you want to check if the current selected text frame is present on a page or not
if(app.selection[0].parentPage == null)
     alert("Selection is not present on a page")
else
     alert("Selection is present on a page")

So either you can use the collection that i mentioned or else you can keep using your code and isolate the text frames on page using the parentPage property.
