Exlude org-noter-insert notes from being cached as nodes

Troubleshooting

As far as I can see, org-noter itself does not add an ID to notes by with org-noter-insert-precise-note. (My PDF notes have no IDs).

I believe you have additional packages, probably org-noter-pdftools, which has this customizing variable:

(defcustom org-noter-pdftools-use-org-id t
  "When non-nil, an org-id is generated for each heading for linking with PDF annotations and record entry parents."
  :group 'org-noter
  :type 'boolean)

If you don’t need IDs, I guess you can try turning it off and see what happens.

Alternatively, Section 6.1 of the Org-roam manual mentions ROAM_EXCLUDE so you should be able to add an additional property either manually or automatically via some custom function.

* Foo
  :PROPERTIES
  :ID:       foo
  :ROAM_EXCLUDE: t
  :END:

Edit:
Option 3 would be to use org-roam-db-node-include-function.

The section referenced above contains this sample code:

(setq org-roam-db-node-include-function
      (lambda ()
        (not (member "ATTACH" (org-get-tags)))))

As your Org-noter headings contain NOTER_PAGE property, I think you can add something like this.

(setq org-roam-db-node-include-function
      (lambda ()
        (not (cdr  (assoc "NOTER_PAGE" (org-entry-properties)))))))

I don’t have time to test this idea; perhaps someone can jump in.
