If someone comes in on a K3 visa and still has a CR1 visa pending abroad, are they allowed to file for an EAD without going through the entire adjustment of status process?
YES 
that is one of the reasons for K-3, to either wait for CR-1 visa, or adjust in the USA, EAD is an interim benifit available to K-3 before AOS, and EAD will expire when I-94 expires, usualy 2 years after a K-3 enters the USA.
Applying for EAD before AOS is recommended for K-3 holders, because of the 2 year EAD, if apply for with or after AOS, then only a 1 year EAD card would be issued.
