 From what you wrote it seems that you want to create the "same" 
identity as the pasted one, and the problem is with setting the identity 
*metadata* remoteIdp and translationProfile, correct?
If so then no, you can't set it via rest (and with anything else). 
Similarly as you can not set creationTs and updateTs. This is metadata 
about the identity, which is set automatically by Unity to provide 
context information mostly admin oriented about the origin of element. 
For instance if you create identity using rest call (or clicking in 
AdminUI) translation profile is not used so won't be set.

HTH,
