In Microsoft Word, inserting a caption is really just a shortcut for
inserting a new paragraph with the caption style and some automatic
numbering fields already in place. Once placed, it's just a normal
paragraph though.

You need to manually create it. Usually I create the image frame and text
frame for the caption, and then just group them.

I'm not really sure how I'd expect a special captioning feature to work in
Scribus. I use the same basic approach for captions in both Scribus and
InDesign.

Subject: [scribus] Frame captions

When you insert a frame in many word processors, you have the option of 
automatically adding a caption for the frame?

Is this possible in Scribus 1.5.1, or do I have to manually create a 
frame for caption text?

The word "caption" seems to be scare in the installed manual or the wiki 
help when checking out working with frames.
