I'm trying to figure out how to get a lisp routine to change the ## from the "page" section to auto insert the page number (not "ctab" name) based on it's position in the layout tabs. I'm already using the lisp routine for the total number of pages and that is working great.

Just as I suspected, the MTEXT entity's value is from a Lisp variable assigned via reactor, but that is odd using MTEXT instead of a default for an attribute since the intention is to use field value.
If you want to continue to use the reactor, I would suggest you include the bit from @ronjonp onto your reactor lisp.
OR
Add this to the code that is if you are planning to call foo separately and then do away with the reactor. [ you should be aware the kind of reactor you use will check each and every time you use a command.
(defun c:foo (/ a bn c e s tg) ;; Name of your attribute block (setq totalLayouts (itoa (length (layoutlist)))) (setq bn "BORDER") ...
perhaps look into vlr-lisp-reactor
