IMHO....

Effectively Page describes himself as having been a domestic IC asset since 1991.....

The US officials are quoted as saying that evidence shows that Russian Operatives sought to infiltrate the inner workings of the Trump Campaign via backdoor communication channels....

And that Russian Operatives attempted to utilize Page as a 'backdoor communication channel'...
But Page was not sure if they were truly Russian Gov. Agents.... or if they were just (low-level) Russian assets being used as operatives...,

Page played the bumbling - not so bright but really really enthusiastic role until he could ascertain their position/ legitimacy ...

Meanwhile, he gets tapped by the Trump team to go do some direct marketing of the quid pro quo in Russia..
If he has been a domestic IC asset for any period of time, he knew that access to that 'quid pro quo' tape was worth a zillion times its weight in gold as an eternal get out of jail free card....

So yeah Page wasn't sure if the specific Russians who were approaching him were actual Gov. Agents ...
Or just assets being used as Operatives...
basically Russian versions of himself..,
