Page numbers in any ePub / Mobi reflowable text book will vary on the the items above as well as the screen size so page 100 for me maybe page 98 or 105 for you for example.

The only way page number will be the same for everyone is with a document that you cannot adjust the display like a pdf. Marvin doesn't do pdf's.

So using the example you quote is just not feasible in any ereader using an ePub book.
Actually that is not true for the ADE method which counts text instead of display size. The ADE method stays the same number although the position on the page will vary which is why it is on the side margin instead of the bottom.
