>I know that the code inserted in the prolog is applied to each page of the document printed. 

No, it isn't. It is executed once only, before the first page.
Prologues must not mark the first or any page, but can define
procedures that do this.

>I 'd like to know if it is possible to encounter a PostScript file with a code fragment to apply to every page, but defined at the end of the PS file? 

No. PostScript is executed sequentially (in order) and once a page is
finished there is no way to later change it.
