By creating a page-sequence-master that orders a 
page geometry that does not expose the page 
number, followed by a page geometry that does expose the page number.

Based on your posted XSLT, it might be something 
along the lines of the following (note how there 
is no region-after in the first page geometry):

      <fo:layout-master-set>
        <fo:simple-page-master 
master-name="Insrt-body-page-first" 
page-height="{$doc_height}" 
page-width="{$doc_width}" margin-top="0.13in" 
margin-bottom="0.25in" margin-left="0.45in" margin-right="0.45in">
           <!--++ Establish the output area(s) language pages ++-->
           <fo:region-body 
region-name="Insrt-pgbody" margin-top="0.3in" 
margin-bottom="0.5in" column-count="2" background-image="watermark.eps"/>
              <fo:region-before region-name="lang-pg-ct" extent="0.75in" />
       </fo:simple-page-master>
        <fo:simple-page-master 
master-name="Insrt-body-page-rest" 
page-height="{$doc_height}" 
page-width="{$doc_width}" margin-top="0.13in" 
margin-bottom="0.25in" margin-left="0.45in" margin-right="0.45in">
           <!--++ Establish the output area(s) language pages ++-->
           <fo:region-body 
region-name="Insrt-pgbody" margin-top="0.3in" 
margin-bottom="0.5in" column-count="2" background-image="watermark.eps"/>
              <fo:region-before region-name="lang-pg-ct" extent="0.75in" />
              <fo:region-after 
region-name="Col_CpyRght-Footer" extent="0.45in"/>
       </fo:simple-page-master>
       <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="Insrt-body-page">
         <fo:single-page-master-reference
              master-reference="Insrt-body-page-first"/>
         <fo:repeatable-page-master-reference
              master-reference="Insrt-body-page-rest"/>
       </fo:page-sequence-master>
    </fo:layout-master-set>

I hope this helps.
