If you want it as an inline graphic then you must select the insertion point before issuing the place command, and now the item is not selected, so:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 set myAsset to asset 1 of library "MyLib" whose name is "Fred"
 select insertion point myIndex of myStory
 place myAsset on document 1
 set myItem to page item 1 of character myIndex of myStory
end tell
