The offset in the InDesign scripting guide (called index in 2.0) is not the same offset as is used in those subroutines. Note that the subroutines are just manipulating text in variables. They're not telling InDesign (nor any application) to do anything. 

That's one of the challenges of understanding AppleScript. It's a very powerful, open-ended system, so it can be quite confusing if the same terminology is used by two different applications to mean different things. 

I think this is one of the reasons that InDesign's "offset" was renamed "index" when 2.0 came out.
