It makes a difference in AS -- place a single pic on a page and run this:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 tell document 1
  horizontal scale of page item 1 of page item 1
  absolute horizontal scale of page item 1 of page item 1
  set absolute horizontal scale of page item 1 to 50
  horizontal scale of page item 1 of page item 1
  absolute horizontal scale of page item 1 of page item 1
 end tell
end tell
