No, it bypasses the Acrobat issue.

My point was that there is only one page-numbering mechanism in 
XSL-FO ... there is no such thing as "your own page counter" ... you 
don't know where the page breaks are.

That tells me that the vendor of your XSL-FO engine may be able to 
address the issue.  If the Frame PDF generator creates some kind of 
hidden page number semantic that doesn't confuse Acrobat, then your 
XSL-FO engine isn't engaging that concept in its PDF generation.
