Well... My doubt is: what thing exactly refers to the «index» parameter in «pages» objects? At first instance, I believed it was the index of the same page in the «search» array of objects. That seems logic.

That's close. It's the order that the pages were returned in by generator=search.

But, when using that, sometimes certain indexes simply don't match (they pair «pageid» from one page with «titlesnippet», «snippet», etc from another page).

You may notice that submitting the same list=search query will sometimes give different results, i.e. the search engine ordering of results isn't completely deterministic. When you see such a mismatch between the indexes in the pages produces by generator=search and the list produced by list=search, the same thing happened between the two searches.
