<pre>This is expected. The offset value is not designed to modify the "current page
number"; instead, it is meant to show the number of page that is offset from
current by defined number (i.e., you are showing the number of page that is "N
pages forward from this page"). Naturally, it cannot show you the number of
page that is not in current document.
What you are trying to do is to change the number of current page. This is done
in the page break properties (first page's paragraph properties), where you can
define the page number. This not only avoids the "problem" you see here, but
also ensures you have proper page numbers in cross references, like ToC and
other references.
See <a href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer#Page_Numbering">https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Writer#Page_Numbering</a> for
reference.
