I’m trying to trigger a script in InDesign based on a page number being odd or even.
Is there a way to test if a number is odd or even.
Here is a stripped down version  

Repeat with y from 1 to mypageCount
..........
 if y is odd
Set myPage to true
Else
 set myPage to false
End if
End repeat

Odd and Even show up as some kind of accepted parameter but doesn’t act the way I thought it would.

In InDesign, those parameters (along with “all”) are used to define which pages of a document to print. What you want can be accomplished with this code:

repeat with y from 1 to mypageCount
    --
    if y mod 2 is not 0 then
        set myPage to true
    else
        set myPage to false
    end if
end repeat
