Alex,
No, there is no equivalent in Pages. You can use third party apps like Art Text — they are too expensive for my limited needs, but if you do a lot of that type of work it would be worth buying.
I have an old version of Office for Mac and I use it if I need WordArt in a Pages Doc. Create in Office; Copy and Paste to Pages.

No, Pages doesn’t have a word art incorporated in the application. Apple are more into using several applications to achieve things than bloat one application.
You can go to _

You can read here _

WordArt for pages
WordArt is a quick way to make text stand out with special effects. You begin by picking a WordArt style from the WordArt gallery on the Insert tab, and then customize the text as you wish.
Try it!
-
Click Insert > WordArt, and pick the WordArt style you want.
In the WordArt gallery, the letter A represents the different designs that are applied to all text you type.
Note: The WordArt icon is located in the Text group, and it may appear different depending on the program you’re using and the size of your screen. Look for one of these icons:

The placeholder text «Your text here» appears, with the text highlighted.
Enter your own text to replace the placeholder text.
Tips:

You can enter entire sentences, and even paragraphs, as WordArt. (You may have to change the font size for longer text.) And in Word, you can also convert existing text to WordArt in Word.
-
You can include symbols as WordArt text. Click the location for the symbol, and on the Insert tab, click Symbol, and pick the symbol you want.

You might have tried using shape styles to change the shape of WordArt and then were puzzled that the text didn’t change. Use the text options in the WordArt Styles group instead. Shape styles and effects apply to the box and background surrounding your WordArt, not to the WordArt text. So, to add effects to your WordArt, such as shadows, rotation, curves, and fill and outline colors, you use the options in the WordArt Styles group, including Text Fill, Text Outline, and Text Effects.
Note: Depending on your screen size, you might only see the icons for WordArt Styles.

-
12
Learn how to move your WordArt text. This can be achieved for most viewers by clicking to select and either centering the text like most centering of any other text, or, for some versions (2007 and up) by right-clicking and dragging the text to a new location.

Learn how to color your WordArt text. Use the same styles to color other text, as you would for this WordArt text. Just be sure the WordArt piece has been selected, before you begin to select your color. If you do end up selecting your color, you’ll be selecting a font color for any additional text near the insertion «I» point on the screen.
- Learn how to copy the piece of WordArt to an alternate location, if you’d like. Use the Copy and Paste technique to copy and paste the item from one area to another, through the use of Windows clipboard (which is where all copy and pasted items are temporarily stored).
