If I understand you correctly, and you want the comments counts for each feed in page in one call, try this syntax :

pageID/posts?fields=comments.limit(2).summary(true).filter(toplevel)

Using Facebook Graph API Explorer, I've got different results depends which application i'm using with the Explorer.

By default with the application "Graph API Explorer", I see the summary section in my results but if I select my app, summary section disappears in results.

I use the same permissions and requests as the app "Graph API Explorer".

Any idea ?

It's exactly as it states it in the roadmap

Removing 'count' from 'comments' Graph API connection We are removing the undocumented 'count' field on the 'comments' connection in the Graph API. Please request '{id}/comments?summary=true' explicitly if you would like the summary field which contains the count (now called 'total_count')

So you would need to add summary=true to your call and then use the total_count field
