In JS a specialCharacters object seems to be present and can be used like this:
aTextFrame.contents = SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber
Is it possible to access this object with python?
I found a workaround but the question remains.
aTextFrame.contents = 1396797550

I've added the Python Scripting object definitions from InDesign Scripting Type library doc_reference. Please see indesign_CC_2018.py
for more details
The constant for special character auto page number marker is
idAutoPageNumber = 1396797550 # from enum idSpecialCharacters
Usage example:
idAutoPageNumber = 1396797550
myTextFrame.Contents = idAutoPageNumber
