Currently using a query_posts() in my theme – want to use a request filter in stead

The code you’ve provided doesn’t actually print out the list of pages; it just creates the query for them. Assuming you have additional code for displaying them, the easiest way to accomplish what you want in a plugin is to build that list, then add them using the_content filter. I would probably create the list of pages in one function, the add those pages to the_content with a second function added to the filter. Here’s something that should help to get your started:

function my_posts_list() {
    global $post;

    query_posts( array (
        'post_type' => 'page', 
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'my_taxonomy' => $post->post_title
    ));

    // Build your HTML list of posts from the query.
}

function filter_the_content($content) {
    // Only filter the content if we're on a single 'my_post_type' page.
    if (is_singular('my_post_type')) {
        $postsList = my_posts_list();
        $content = $postsList . $content;
    }
    return $content;
}

add_filter('the_content', 'filter_the_content');

There are, of course, plenty of additional things you could do with this, like check if there the list of posts isn’t empty.
