If you had previously installed Pages from the Mac App Store before the drive replacement, you should launch the Mac App Store on Catalina and ensure that you are signed in with the same Apple ID as used previously to install Pages. Then press cmd+0 (zero) to open the Purchases page and if Pages is there with a blue cloud outline and down arrow, click that. A panel will appear offering to install the last compatible version of Pages (11.1) for macOS Catalina. It will be installed into your /Applications folder.
