So in case this helps anyone else, here is a summary of my particular issue.

I believe I took all the defaults on Page Count. And since I already had the necessary extra columns and tags for the fields I thought I was ready to go. The Page count was set to go to the custom column #pages using the algorithm Adobe Digital Editions; and word count was to go to #words and use the ICU algorithm (whatever that is).

My big mistake was on the "Other" tab for customizing Count Pages. It was defaulting to download from both Goodreads and lubimyczytac.pl. Unchecking those on the Download options fixed my problem. What was happening was, since I had Goodreads checked (e.g.), Page Count needed to find an Goodreads "ID" for each book I was trying to count. None of my books had that, so the Page Count would fail.
For the record, the plugins defaults only have Goodreads selected for downloading the page count. And the default action when pressing the button is "Estimate page/word counts". If the plugin was attempting to download the page count, that means you had either changed the default action to one of the download options, or were explicitly choosing the download option from menu.

The button action, or what you chose from the menu to start the count is the actual problem. If you use the "Estimate page/word counts", it doesn't care what download options are selected or identifiers the book has. It just does the stats using the book in the library.
