Yes, as stated in my post, you must use templates. They can be a simple template like the one I posted which just returns the value for a column. Or they could be more complicated and do something else. The page and word counts could have been done by specifying a column name, but, that is no easier than the template, and a lot less flexible.

And to be clear, this is not the page number displayed when reading. This is a fixed number that is generated somewhere else (Count Pages plugin, from a site, by looking at the paper book, or some other way). As I stated, for purchased books, it is the number shown in the store for the book. Whether it is a purchased book, or sideloaded, if this number matches the page count shown when reading, it is a coincidence.
