Is it possible to first import a dataset with native easyMorph import transformations and then use R to manipulate the imported dataset? How can we reference the imported dataset in EasyMorph from the R-script?  
It would be nice if we could mix easyMorph transformations with R-code.

No native integration with R available at this point, only PowerShell. You can export a dataset into a text file, use "Run program" to run an R calculation, then load the result back into EasyMorph. This logic can be wrapped into a reusable project so that you effectively get a "custom transformation" invoked from other projects using the "Call" action.
