Is there a three-hole punch guide, so I don't place anything in those three spots? It would be great if it could be swapped to the left or right just in case one is working on the back of a page.

No, there is not.  Why?  I suspect because AE is mostly designed for online products. on the left of your AE screen you will see charts and grids which in your case really isn't that helpful.  There is the option now to see margins and bleed lines, which is still not helpful in your case.

Typically, three-hole punches are standardized so that the holes are spaced equally and align with most binders. The center of each hole is usually 4.25 inches apart. The distance from the edge of the paper to the center of the first hole is typically 0.5 inches, but this can vary slightly depending on the specific punch and paper used. This setup is common for U.S. Letter-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches).

The number of pixels in a notebook paper depends on the paper size and the resolution of the image being printed. For example, an A4 sheet of paper is 2,480 x 3,508 pixels at 300 dots per inch (DPI).

In the U.S. than means the holes are usually  1/2 inch from the left edge ( 1/12th of a banana for scale).
You cannot see a ruler in AE, which is not helpful.

What may be helpful, an Idea of mine which seems resonable:

Scan in a peice of notebook paper, the entire thing.  Add it as an image to your creation- put it on top of the layer stack.  Change it's opacity to 30.  

Bottom line:  Eyeball it, al lthe alternatives and "work arounds" will cost you more time than it's worth.
