No, Dia does not have a facility like this. One time I experimented with a plug-in to do this. One major issue that immediately presented itself was that Dia expects test to fit in the same amount of area that the user typed it into. This meant that I had to use a mono-spaced font and type in placeholder characters to reserve space for some values.
For your described purpose, You could define a page template with all the "fields" formatted correctly, then either create a plug-in to fill it in for you, or save it and use an external utility to fill in a copy and launch Dia when you want to create a new diagram. You could even run a utility after you edit the diagram that could insert sheet numbers and total sheet count into multiple instances of "sheet info" object.
