First you need to calculate the offset:

tell application "InDesign CS"
	tell document 1
		tell rectangle 1
			set {y1, x1, y2, x2} to geometric bounds
			set {y3, x3, y4, x4} to geometric bounds of graphic 1
			set theOffset to {x3 - x1, y3 - y1}
		end tell
	end tell
end tell


Then when you want to place the picture:

tell application "InDesign CS"
	tell document 1
		set {y1, x1, y2, x2} to geometric bounds of rectangle 1
		place picPath on rectangle 1
		move graphic 1 of rectangle 1 by theOffset
	end tell
end tell

or:

tell application "InDesign CS"
	tell document 1
		set {y1, x1, y2, x2} to geometric bounds of rectangle 1
		place picPath on rectangle 1
		set {y3, x3, y4, x4} to geometric bounds of graphic 1
		set geometric bounds of graphic 1 to {y3 - y1, x3 - x1, y4 - y1, x4 - 
x1}
	end tell
end tell
