If you're using VB/VBScript (as I think you are), you can get a reference to the text frame as you create it:

Rem Given a reference to a page "myPage"... 
Set myTextFrame = myPage.TextFrames.Add

If you've already created the text frames, you can find a text frame with a given id by iterating:

Rem Given an ID "myID" and a page "myPage"... 
For myCounter = 1 to myPage.TextFrames.Count 
    If myPage.TextFrames.Item(myCounter).id = myID Then 
        Set myTextFrame = myPage.TextFrames.Item(myCounter) 
        Exit For 
    End If 
Next

If you're using InDesign CS, you can use the ItemByID method:

Rem Given an ID "myID" and a page "myPage"... 
Set myTextFrame = myPage.TextFrames.ItemByID(myID)

Hope that helps!
Thanks,

Ole
