Why do you bother? Objects outside the bleed frame are cut off and not exported to the PDF.

If this is a parent/master page object, the text frame needs to touch the page for it to show on other pages.

However, if you mean on a PDF, make sure you set a bleed in your export settings big enough to include it, otherwise it will be clipped off.

Are you viewing that other file in the Preview mode maybe?

You can always put a [Paper] filled frame above the text to act as a mask...

This would be useful to cut off text in the page margin, but as @Willi Adelberger points out, text outside the trim size of the page is going to be cut off in trimming.
