Somebody more familiar with the internals of region highlighting will have to answer the last question. I did not look at those internals, but I believe that the region highlighting is just a display feature and neither implemented a a text property nor as an overlay. Text properties are for longer lasting stuff. If it were a text property, activating the region would mark the buffer modified.
