Apparently they do. This is from page 13 of the iTunesConnect_PublisherUserGuide.pdf :

Page Mapping
To provide a reading experience similar to printed books, the person reading a book on the iPad should be able to refer to and navigate to a particular page. This is especially useful in a classroom setting when the teacher instructs the students to go to a particular page in a textbook. An NCX (Naviagtion Control file for XML) file lets the reader jump directly to any of the major structural elements of the document (for example, chapter or section) or to a particular page. To provide navigation to a particular page, use the NCX defined pageList. Below is an example:

<pageList>
<pageTarget id=”p1” type=”normal” value=”1”>
<navLabel><text>1</text></navLabel>
<content src=”content.html#p1”/>
</pageTarget>
<pageTarget id=”p2” type=”normal” value=”2”>
<navLabel><text>2</text></navLabel>
<content src=”content.html#p2”/>
</pageTarget>
</pageList>


Further documentation on the pageList can be found here:
