I  had a IR chat with Kunda about this script.

My view was that as written, the script was intended as an educational
introduction into python and the Scripter API, just as a few others in
that section.

If you wanted to make a master page do as Greg says or some other
variation

As the "DRAFT" is on its own layer, it can be moved to the scrap book
and placed back on any other page you want. But you probably wouldn't
do that as there would be easier ways of getting "DRAFT" onto a
document.
