Quite different to Count Pages plugin.
If the ePub is aPub3 and that a page number metadata is set, Calibre will use it, else it use a similiar methods in spirit (emulate lines rendering and calc pages from that), but the Calibre implementation is different. The divergence toward PC could certainly higly vary.
Else is important to note that the accuraty of the pages columns it to take with caution because of the reflow nature of ebook, the various details of formating and images; there is no "correct" value. Especialy toward a physical edition. It just average value to easly compare the book side to side.
(ComicsBook archives and PDF should be identical because static)
And no, the page is not exported to devices (I didn't see any commits on that).
My guess is since each devices has his own method to store this value, this need a specific implementation for each ones (which is a work), but that is to Kovid to see.
