Of course, I can insert these commands with ERT, but I prefer them to
be defined a more GUI friendly object.
If I create a new flex inset, it either adds an environment
(\begin{LatexName }...\end{LatexName ) or a command (\LatexName{...}).
I don't need any text (ERT or anything else) to be inserted into this
inset. Just to insert those commands into the document.
The List Of Figures insertion, for example, does something similar,
but it has some information such as Placement and Extension that are
irrelevant in my case.
First, what is the "new page layout goes here" for? Isn't that text that
needs to be entered into the inset?
Second, I believe custom command insets without arguments cannot be
created currently. You could create an inset with an argument whose
argument does nothing to achieve basically the same thing. So, I guess
it hasn't been a priority to implement custom non-argument insets. But
it's really a just missing feature.

ps. There are separate GUI features for \pagestyle
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12394) and \mainmatter
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12424) on the way. But since I lack at
least the abilities to finish those patches for backwards compatibility,
I am not sure whether they will appear in LyX any time soon.

Re: Insert plain commands into the document with an Inset
If it is not possible to achieve, then I would like to know it isn't.
