No, 1 screen is 1 page. Unfortunately, there are bugs that mean the page count isn't perfect and there are some repeats, usually near the middle of a longer chapter or the very last page of a chapter. But, it's a hell of a lot closer than you are implying. I don't really pay attention as I only use the page count as a rough estimate of where I am. But, paging through my current book, which has chapters between 17 and 30 pages in my normal font size, there were no mid-chapter repeats. The last page repeat was there for some chapters. I doubt it has been fixed completely, but, I it probably isn't as bad as it has been.

But, sorry, suggesting that the kepub page counting is unusable because it isn't perfect while promoting the weird Adobe algorithm is just funny.
