I think I understand what you’re after, not sure — your explanation isn’t entirely clear. E.g., what do you mean by ‘a book which will have A, B, A, B etc.’? And you format text in a spreadsheet then paste it in InDesign? Wel. . .

Anyway, here’s what I think you’re after. On a master spread, place a text frame on the left-hand page and one on the right-hand page. Now when you thread the two frames on the master, and you place the text on a document page, the text flows from p. 1 to p. 2, p2 to p. 3, etc.

When you do not thread the frames on the master, then place the text on p. 1, the full text flows from p.1 to p. 3, from p. 3 to p. 5, etc. And when you place a second text stream on p. 2, it will flow on the even pages only.

Maybe you don’t need a script all!
