By creating a page-sequence-master that orders a
page geometry that does not expose the page
number, followed by a page geometry that does expose the page number.

Based on your posted XSLT, it might be something
along the lines of the following (note how there
is no region-after in the first page geometry):

     <fo:layout-master-set>
       <fo:simple-page-master
master-name="Insrt-body-page-first"
page-height="{$doc_height}"
page-width="{$doc_width}" margin-top="0.13in"
margin-bottom="0.25in" margin-left="0.45in" margin-right="0.45in">
          <!--++ Establish the output area(s) language pages ++-->
          <fo:region-body
region-name="Insrt-pgbody" margin-top="0.3in"
margin-bottom="0.5in" column-count="2" background-image="watermark.eps"/>
             <fo:region-before region-name="lang-pg-ct" extent="0.75in" />
      </fo:simple-page-master>
       <fo:simple-page-master
master-name="Insrt-body-page-rest"
page-height="{$doc_height}"
page-width="{$doc_width}" margin-top="0.13in"
margin-bottom="0.25in" margin-left="0.45in" margin-right="0.45in">
          <!--++ Establish the output area(s) language pages ++-->
          <fo:region-body
region-name="Insrt-pgbody" margin-top="0.3in"
margin-bottom="0.5in" column-count="2" background-image="watermark.eps"/>
             <fo:region-before region-name="lang-pg-ct" extent="0.75in" />
             <fo:region-after
region-name="Col_CpyRght-Footer" extent="0.45in"/>
      </fo:simple-page-master>
      <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="Insrt-body-page">
        <fo:single-page-master-reference
             master-reference="Insrt-body-page-first"/>
        <fo:repeatable-page-master-reference
             master-reference="Insrt-body-page-rest"/>
      </fo:page-sequence-master>
   </fo:layout-master-set>

I hope this helps.
