It's not incorrect. It's very correct. In fact, it's the most correct way of doing page numbers for an eBook that doesn't require an external file. With ADE page numbering, you can change margins, line height, font size and you will not have your page number change. That's a great way to do it. And once you get used to ADE page numbers, you'll get a good idea of how long the book is.
Kindle page numbers requires an APNX file that contains the page numbering. But, if you make significant enough changes to the Kindle eBook, then you lose that page numbering because the APNX file no longer syncs with the eBook.
