Christopher,

You can put every images on a new layer.
Try this;
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set myDocument to active document
	-- make a layer whose name is Image layer
	tell myDocument
		try -- is the ImageLayer exist ?
			set ImageLayer to layer "Image layer" of myDocument
		on error -- create the layer
			set ImageLayer to make layer with properties {visible:true, locked:false, name:"Image layer"}
		end try
	end tell
end tell

...
and when you create your rectangle, use this:

set myRectangle to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{0, 0, myPageHeight, myPageWidth}, item layer:layer "Image layer"}

HTH

Oli.
