The actual page number is accessible via "page.name".

The page name string could be a letter—if the page was a section start using roman numerals, page one of the section would be named "i". There's also page.documentOffset which reurns the page’s sequential number relative to the document.

If an auto Current Page Number is being used it might be possible to set every page to a section start and reverse the order of the auto page numbering. I can’t do it easily in JS, but this AppleScript (OSX only) seems to work.

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2018"
	tell active document
		set allow page shuffle of document preferences to false
		my clearSections()
		set p to every page
		set c to count of p
		repeat with i from 1 to c
			set pn to c - (i - 1)
			set itm to item i of p
			try
				make new section with properties {continue numbering:false, page start:itm, page number start:pn}
			end try
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

--reset the sections
on clearSections()
	tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2018"
		tell active document
			set s to every section
			repeat with i from 2 to count of s
				try
					delete item i of s
				end try
			end repeat
		end tell
	end tell
end clearSections

NO,

The purpose is :the first logic page number of the document become the last number.

Example a 10 pages document :

the first logic page is 10

the last logic page is 1
