I know it's quite an old topic, but I'd like share, that you actually can move pages using scripting, and of course using the Page.move() function.

its syntax goes like this:
Page.move(to, reference, binding)

where 'to' stands for a LocationOption, to specify where you want to place the page relative to the reference object.
'reference' is the key part, because it can also be a page in any open document, you just need to refer to it.
'binding' defines the location of the binding spine.

And an example, to see this in action:
// Script from here
var coverDoc = app.documents.item('cover_document');
var pagesToMove = coverDoc.pages.itemByRange(0, 1);
var chapterDoc = app.documents.item('chapter_document');
pagesToMove.move(LocationOptions.BEFORE, chapterDoc.pages.item(0));
// Script until here

You may also use duplicate() the same way, if you want to keep the original pages. (however, it doesn't have the 'binding' parameter)

I hope it can help you!
