OK, let me rephrase (and this time in the right list, sorry): is the way to
indicate
a 4 times repeated set of bars "\repeat volta 4 {notes}", followed by a manual
annotation
indicating "repeat 4 times" or is there a better method?
As far as I know, there's no well-established typesetting practice
for how to indicate it in a printed score, which is one reason that
LilyPond doesn't typeset the number. So, it's up to you to find a
notation that you think is understandable for the musicians you
have in mind, for example following the suggestions from Kieren.

How to write multiple repeats? \repeat volta 4 {..} does not
indicate that there is more that 1 repeat.
I'm happy to just write "4X" at the end but am I missing
something? What's the purpose of the
number in the \repeat volta command?
The documentation explains it fairly well and offers examples.
Alternatives and volta brackets are easy to typeset this way.

MIDI reflects repeats.
