There are:
* Page Styles;
* Paragraph Styles;
* Numbering Styles;
* Character Styles;

Depending upon how configured, these styles can be used to trigger other
things.

In my example, a slight modification of Header 1, results in the page
style Right Page being inserted before the heading.

Title page that flows into copyright page that flows into
FrontMatterRightPage that flows into FrontMatterLeftPage, that flows
into FrontMatterRightPage, etc.

Then use Header One that automatically insert RightPage before the
header, after make that configuration.

It is complex, precisely because it a mature package, for which people
have used for a plethora of use cases that you probably never dreamed
existed.
