The default behavior is caused by the following option in the stylesheet
CellFrameLabels->{{None, None}, {
Cell[TextData[ {"Figure ", CounterBox[ "NumberedFigure"]}],
FontWeight -> "Bold"], None}}
If you want each figure to have different text, then you must apply a
different option to each cell. For example,
CellFrameLabels->{{None, None}, {
Cell[TextData[ {"Figure ", CounterBox[ "NumberedFigure"],
"-- This figure is different."}],
FontWeight -> "Bold"], None}}
This can be set with the Option Inspector (Cell Options/Cell Frame
Options/Cell FrameLabels).

For the page of the current cell, the page number is given by
CounterBox["Page"]. For a different cell it is CounterBox["Page", "tag"]
where "tag" is the CellTag for that cell. There is a menu that pastes these
CounterBoxes (Input/Create Automatic Numbering object).
