Well, the GeoJSON driver support "filenames" which are in fact GeoJSON content:

$ ogrinfo 
'{"type":"Feature","properties":{"foo":"bar"},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[2,49]}}'
 -ro -al

Layer name: OGRGeoJSON
Geometry: Point
Feature Count: 1
Extent: (2.000000, 49.000000) - (2.000000, 49.000000)
Layer SRS WKT:
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",
        SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
    UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]
foo: String (0.0)
OGRFeature(OGRGeoJSON):0
  foo (String) = bar
  POINT (2 49)

Works also with FeatureCollections.
Alternatively, you could also put the content in a in-memory GDAL file 
(/vsimem/ virtual file system) and open it.

So you could likely instanciate a temporary layer and get a QGIS feature from 
that.


If you are just interested in geometries and not attributes, there's also the C 
function : 

OGRGeometryH    OGR_G_CreateGeometryFromJson (const char *);
