Yes. It will be the same for any reflowable format since margins, line spacing, line height, font size will all affect the amount of text that will fit on a page.

If you do a search on MobileRead, you will find pages of discussions about why there is no one true page count for epubs and other reflowable books. An example for Google would be 'epub page numbering site:mobileread.com' (remove the quotes). They tend to get repetitive but are good for when insomnia strikes. Nothing like reading about the ONE TRUE PAGE NUMBERING heresy to cause me to want a nap.
