Pdfpages just inserts external pdf pages; but it does not prepare
the current page for typesetting. If you need that you have to do
whatever you would do without using pdfpages ;-)
Here's an example:


\documentclass[a4paper, landscape, DIV10]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\makeatletter
\newcommand{\swapformat}{%
  \clearpage
  \setlength{\@tempdima}{\paperwidth}%
  \setlength{\paperwidth}{\paperheight}%
  \setlength{\paperheight}{\@tempdima}%
  \setlength\pdfpagewidth\paperwidth
  \setlength\pdfpageheight\paperheight
  \typearea{10}%
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{headings}
\section{foobar}
Lorem ipsum \ldots
\swapformat
\includepdf[fitpaper=true, pagecommand={\thispagestyle{headings}}]{dummy.pdf}
Lorem ipsum \ldots
\swapformat
Lorem ipsum \ldots
\end{document}
