No, the pasteboard is specific to each page. It could not really work
any other way, just consider objects that are partly off the page,
i.e., they are both on the page and on the pasteboard.
Of course, the behaviour depends on whether you are on a body layer or
on a master layer. Objects on a master layer appear on every page and
that includes objects on the pasteboard (do not forget that the
pasteboard is layered, too!). Of course, in order to get it onto the
page area you still have to use the clipboard because there is no
other way to copy objects between layers, even on the same page.
