Yeah I am not aware of a variable for this... But page sizes are actually
more complicated than they seem. You can emulate it pretty easily with
something like the following expression on a layout as you suggested:

[%CASE
WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 297 AND @layout_pageheight IS 210 THEN 'On A4
Landscape'
WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 210 AND @layout_pageheight IS 297 THEN 'On A4
Portrait'
WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 420 AND @layout_pageheight IS 297 THEN 'On A3
Landscape'
WHEN @layout_pagewidth IS 297 AND @layout_pageheight IS 420 THEN 'On A3
Portrait'
ELSE 'With page dimensions of ' || @layout_pagewidth || ' x ' ||
@layout_pageheight
END%]
