Is there a way to place one image into a frame but it populates multiple frames, across multiple pages?

You could use a Master Page but that would require that you have several master pages set up for each configuration of the image on each page. I think what you're looking for is the Edit > Place and Link feature (you can also use the Content Collector and Content Placer tools). Basically, place the image in the first position in your layout. Now select it with the Selection tool and choose Edit > Place and Link. You'll now have a loaded cursor where you can place a second instance of that image. Repeat this for each instance of the image that you need always choosing the initial image that you placed when you choose Place and Link. Again, the Content Collector/Placer makes this a bit easier. Now when you drop a new image into that first frame, the Links panel will show all of the other images as being out of date. Simply select them in the Links panel and choose update and all of the images will match the first instance of the image.

You can create a master, insert the image in it then you can use this master every page you want.
