Paste in Place, Ctrl-Alt-Shift-V, will paste in the same location relative to page edges, but I don't know if there's any command that will adjust for offset margins, if that's what you're seeking. I'm sure it could be scripted.

InDesign works differently - it creates spreads of a book - Illustrator works with Artboards.

 

Anchored objects are a fantastic way of controlling position of objects as they change page.

 

They are essentially part of the text - as it's anchored with the paragraphs - so you delete the paragraph you could unintentionally delete the image just a caveat.

 

I talked a bit here how to do it

I had more comprehensive posts in the past but I cannot find them.
