I see, I had indeed misunderstood the command, assuming it would pass the region as argument, not as stdin. What would be needed to have the region passed as argument then?

Since the command I am passing the region to is a bash script I wrote, I was able to fix it following the answer by @andy in this SX question: stackoverflow.com/questions/18761209/…. I'm still wondering if there is an emacs command that calls a a command with the region as argument, though.

So, in this case, I needed something like xargs -I{} echo {}
