I do not have time to look deeply into this, but, I do believe that you can have differnet behavior for left / right pages for a page style. I think they talk about it here:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/FormattingPagesAndDocuments/How_do_I_make_page_numbers_alternate%3F I do notice, however, tha tyou say "page 3" is numbered as xi (11), so you would need to make sure that the real page number is correct if you rely on that to generate the number.
