There are at least 4 ways of having page numbers. A Calibre plugin method, hand coded (or from a publishing tool), Adobe and Kobo kepub page numbers. The Kobo numbers change according to font & margins. The Adobe ones are based on counting data, not paper edition.
Note paper editions can vary in page numbers and 3 different paperback versions isn't unusual apart from a large print edition, such as Initial Trade, Pocket/Mass Market and some other size.
I prefer % left in chapter and the thin bar showing book progress. However there are choices.
There is a setting to turn on Adobe page numbers, but it only works if an ebook has them.
So page numbers is depending on the ebook content/formatting, not actually the Kobo.
You can easily add page numbers in the TOC editor in Calibre to the TOC from a paper edition. Page numbers in the chapters is more complex and less useful.
