Is there a way to insert multiple images at once in a InDesign table column (each image being assigned its own cell) , just like you would "autoflow" text in a text box? This also implies that new pages with the same table layout would automatically add themselves should the capacity of a table's column be exceeded.

There are quite a few ways to go about this. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. Here are the three that best meet your needs as I understand them in order of likelihood.
- Data Merge (vanilla)
Load all your info into a spreadsheet, set the paragraph style up like a table then do a stock standard data merge. This is fast and easy but is functionally limited.
- Data Merge (with table add on)
I didn't try this script but it looks like what you need with the tables.
- XML
You can use the inDesign XML import to bring in data, styles, images and bring significantly more functionality. Keep in mind that it can be a massive headache as the feature still lacks polish.
