Is there any form of notification being sent to the submitter of the page?
Yes, default approval workflow does have the following email notification

1. Requesting approval email notification
2. Email notification to contributor regarding approved / rejected pages from the approval.

Here are the steps:

1. Outgoing email settings must be configured at the Central Admin à Operations. Without this, there won’t be any option to send notification email in the list setting.
2. User profile must be configured and imported, with user email information included.
3. Please create a new Task list when using default approval workflow, using existing “Workflow Task” list, email notification will not be send out.  If you are using existing workflow task list, on this list setting >  advanced setting > Send e-mail when ownership is assigned ? change it to NO and wait for 5 minutes then change it back to YES then you will be able to see those email notification. The other alternative is DO NOT USE the default “Workflow Tasks”, create a new “Tasks” list
