Hold it there, a text frame is NOT the same as a column. A text frame can have 
several columns.

So, to get several columns on a page you can use different approaches.

One approach is to use one text frame over the whole page and set it to have 
several columns. However that does not (currently) give you much control over 
the columns.

The other approach is to insert on text frame for each column. This takes a bit 
more work (at least until text frames on master pages are editable) but gives 
much more control for each column.

There are even more ways. You could for example insert one big, 2-column, text 
frame on the page, and then on top of it, in the middle, put a second, 
narrower, single column text frame. And set the bottom frame to flow around the 
top frame.
