Basically, for epubs you would need to generate Adobe's non-standard and poorly supported page-map or the standard and poorly supported pagelist.

However worrying about page numbers in a reflowable format where the amount of data on the screen can and does vary widely with font size, line and paragraph spacing, margins, etc. is, at best, an exercise in futility. The Adobe synthetic page algorithm has at least the virtue of being consistent across devices.

If you are worrying about matching page numbers to a print edition, we'd have to ask which print edition as the page numbering will vary from hardcover to trade paperback to paperback. Even if you stick to hardcover only, the page numbers are not necessarily consistent. I noted this in one textbook where the 7th reprint was re-typeset, the illustrations were redone and various errata corrected resulting in a book with 11 fewer pages.
