Not true, the man page says that you can pass "-password" to set the root
password[1], not that the "password" parameter takes a string value and sets
that value as password.

I guess you mean via pvesh, and not via the API? pvesh has its own internal
password handling, like pct has. This is intentional, because you don't want
passwords to visible in the process list and/or history.

If you want to batch create containers, you can do so via the API (the actual
one that you can use over HTTPS). Like the api-viewer[2] says, the API path
"POST /api2/json/nodes/{node}/lxc" has an optional string parameter that allows
directly setting the password.
Please also note that neither the API nor the "pct create" command require
setting a password, you can also pass one or more public SSH keys (which are of
course by nature not as sensitive as plain text passwords, and thus do not have
the same constraints), or even nothing at all (in which case, you need to use
"pct exec" or "pct enter" to run stuff in the container).
Hope this clears things up.
