Yes. Especially see my + Hitch's many posts over the years. See my posts in:
Help ;with Kindle Page Numbers (Use the search terms recommended in this post to find all "Real Page Number" discussions.)
Fractional Page Numbering
Real Page Numbers for Reflowable Kindles
I even wrote a post discussing "density of pages" too!
Post #67 of "Fractional Page Numbering"
Those threads link further to nearly everything about RPNs (Real Page Numbers) and various word/page/byte-count schemes.

Do they base it off the internal EPUB Metadata (dc:source)?
Or I assume when Amazon merges Print/Ebook versions in their store, RPNs are something you inform them of and they'll enable it in the backend (at their discretion)?
