mrkgnao: If you look at the code of the checkout page, you can see the piñata ID before purchasing it. Has someone figured out if there is a correlation between ID and game?
I bought one and got:
1449801923: Machinarium Collector's Edition
Which, btw, I own, despite not owning all the games in the OP list (missing Republique), so the FAQ ("We're making sure that you only find games that you don't have yet") is incorrect. Call me unsurprised.
blotunga: I will update the OP with this info. Maybe we can somehow figure out what the Pinata contains. I bought one and got:

"the games inside your Piñata are only generated once you go through checkout. Even we don't know what you'll get until the very end."
"The Pinata lineup is separated into timed pools with limited quantities, each pool includes more of some games and fewer of others. Theoretically, it's possible for a game to be "sold out" in one batch.
So if you're missing a game from the lineup it will be prioritised as long as there are copies left in the given batch. Basically, we did this to spread the games out evenly across the entire promo and avoid a situation in which all the best deals are gone right off the bat."
