Hi,

false expectations.

If a frame is rotated by e.g. 90, 180, 270 or -90, 180, 270 the widget showing the reference point will be rotated along.

How to read rectangle reference point in Writing Script

If you are trying to script it, the reference point is a property of the layout window not a page item. So in AppleScript this sets the current reference point:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2018"
    set transform reference point of layout window 1 to bottom right anchor
end tell

For JavaScript here is the API

You can get by this code:

 alert(app.activeWindow.transformReferencePoint);
