No, they are totally different things.  I don't think that PSD is even 
capable of support multiple "pages".  In PSD the image layers are 
composited (using a wide variety of algorithms) to form the image that 
you see.

> If not then how do I go about extracting the different layers?

Are you talking about extracting "layers" from TIFF or from PSD?
A "page" is an image.  A "layer" is part of the definition of an 
image.
