And then I guess the shell itself has mechanisms to easily attach or register new commandlets, to allow for easily add custom object processing?

I really like the consistency that those commands have: ConvertFrom-<ConverterFormat>.

No built in converter for the format you need? I'm just speculating here, but I guess you just need to implement this or that Interface and there you go.

Yes you can write your own cmdlets in either C# or powershell that you can install via modules [0]

You can also just write a function in your profile.

You can define your own function and use it in your pipeline yes. You can have your function take pipeline input just like the built in cmdlets.
