Try this :-)

v.in.ascii help
...
Parameters:
      input   Name of input file to be imported
               '-' for standard input
     output   Name for output vector map
...

Hence:

echo "512080,531630" | v.in.ascii -n input=- output=my_point separator=","

For also attribute transfer, see

--> Example 3 - point format mode
