I have a book that has a rotated landscape master page and uses system variables that are on other pages, but headers & footers are not rotated. I have rotated only the main text flow frame by selecting it on the master page and then selecting Graphics > Rotate (Rotate by 90 deg clockwise).

You don't need to do that. You need to create a new master page and rotate it (Format > Customize Layout > Rotate), then add a text frame to it as well as header/footer frames if you need those. Then apply that master to your body page. Caveats: If your rotated page's flow is the same as your body flow, then future edits can screw up which content appears on the landscape page. It is often best to create a separate file for the landscape material; you can make it act like part of the previous and following chapter files by setting all their numbering properties correctly. Alternatively, if you stay in a single chapter file, you can put a distinctive pgf tag on your landscape material and use the Apply Master Pages feature to ensure that content is given the right master page.
