Dave is correct. Here's a bit more detail: The TextColumn object is a text object--it's the composed text in an InDesign text frame. If you have a 5-column text frame that does not contain any text, it doesn't contain any TextColumns. 

If the text frame does contain text, then the TextColumns collection of the text frame will contain text objects, but the coordinates of the TextColumns might differ from the positions of the columns of the text frame (due to alignnment, keeps settings, etc.).  

If that's what you're looking for, however, you can use the horizontal offset, baseline, ascent, and decent values of the text objects (Characters, InsertionPoints, Words, etc.) to find the area of the column taken up by the text. 

Does that help? 

Thanks,
