I wouldn't dare write it like that, because who knows how the parser
will treat it.  I'd write it this way:

read varname <<< "$(...)"

This is a command substitution and a here-string.  Here-strings are
implemented with a temporary file, I believe.

Process substitutions are <(...) and >(...).  These are the ones that
use either a named pipe, or a /dev/fd/* node.
