I'll wait for your comments.
P.S: the plugin is also available in pt-BR

Hi @thiago.ecc!
I read more often in Calibre's Ebook viewer, and I had never observed that the
Count Pages plugin doesn't pull the actual number of pages from it, even if the specific Viewer Algorithm is selected in the plugin options.
So I decided to create a second Page Count custom column, and now I have:
- Page Count - #pages - used by the Count Pages plugin (good for quick comparisons, as it makes a one-click automagical estimate of the page count based on the chosen algorithm)
- Viewer Pages - #vp - the actual number of pages displayed in my Ebook viewer Header. I'm filling this manually.
For Reading Goals I have set up the second one. Ideally, the #vp value should be obtained automatically, but the Count Pages PI developer isn't adding new features to his plugins at this time - and i'm not sure this is possible. See:
As for the Reading Progress (percentage), I haven't figured a way to update it...
Also, it would be nice to have a "select book in library" button similar to the one in the FTS window, or perhaps a double-click action in the 'Edit reading goal' dialog.
After I installed the plugin, I created all custom columns manually, using the parameters provided in the first post - I missed that "Only columns of the right type will be available in the dropdown list" bit, so perhaps this could be emphasized or made more obvious in the instructions: all the user has to do to create the columns is to click the buttons located on the right side of the dropdown.
Not a big deal, anyway. (this was just me skipping steps because I hadn't paid attention to this line: )
You can create new custom columns, if you don't want to use the existing ones, by pressing the 
icon.
As for pt-br availability: that's cool, though I love all my OS and software in English, you know... don't ask me why as I can't tell exactly, but I think one of the reasons is that it makes it easier to find support. BTW there's a small typo in the 'Edit reading goal' help dialogue: should be "The options are.."
