Do those reference page frames all have tags? (select frame->Object properties)
You can't create two reference page frames with the same tag (according to my quick test, at least).
This means your paragraph format will pick up the information from one frame only. So the reference page may be a mess, but it shouldn't affect the formatting of your body pages.

That should work, yes.
