*can* be seen as 3 pages. it's hard to say if it always is seen as that, there are uncertainties. i expect at least that in the future google can distinguish between page=1, page=2, page=3 and referer=1,referer=2, referer=3 thanks to on page factors.

True enough.
Check your log files. If you see the robots hitting (in this example) page.php repeateadly with different IDs (wm=123, wm=456, etc.) it's a sign it *may* be seeing them as different pages.
Next, do a site:[domain] search a see if these URLs are getting listed - likely they will just be a URL with no description or cache (for Google). If so, the pages are definetly being seen as different pages.
One solution is to "cloak" robots by 301ing the page to a blank URL (page.php?wm=123 -> page.php). You likely won't get penalized as the 2 pages are the same.
But whatever you do, under NO circumstance, use ID= (as in, page.php?ID=123). Google says straight out "don't" - it often will see this as a session ID - another bad thing to be passing in URLs...
