Currently there's no direct way of converting from block to id-based selection. vtkConvertSelection does not handle the case where the input is a block-based selection. Feel free to add a feature request to the bug tracker.
A possible alternative would be to apply the ExtractSelection filter and then fetch the resulting dataset to the client. That will have the ids for the extracted block.
