Globaly, yes, the Calibre Pages use a system base of number characters by page, with some subtlety. Due to these minor differences, the values returned by Calibre Pages will always differ from those produced by the Pages Count plugin, and there are no plans to make them equal.

Since the Calibre Pages Count is stored in a specific and read only column (named {pages}), where the plugin store it value in a custom column of you choice, their is no conflict. It up to you to choose wich value/column to use/show.
