Yes, there is a way to name boxes in InDesign. From the user interface you can do this by using the "Script Label" palette (Window->Script Label) From a script this is done via a "label" property:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
set myDoc to make document
set myBox to make text frame at myDoc with properties {geometric bounds:{0, 0, "1in", "1in"}, label:"test"}
set contents of text frame "test" of myDoc to "Hello World"
end tell

A lot of other objects (like pages, spreads and layers) in InDesign have a label property which you can use to attach your own private data. The Script Label palette only works on page items though and you can't say layer "my label" to refer to an object.
