Locations are obsolete and Amazon only.
But when a book has multiple print editions, you could have the eBook matching the hardcover and you have a mass market paperback. Your page counts will not match.
What you can do however in Calibre (for a Kindle) is configure a custom column for your page count. Then pick the paper edition you want, use that page count, put that in the custom column and then have Calibre generate a page number file for the eBook using that page count. That would work. But one thing that will not work is the same page number won't be point to the same place. You might be able to get this with a page number file direct from Amazon with the current paper version, but if that current paper version is hardcover and the hardcover is no longer selling, then your page numbers won't match.
