Was intended as the answer of your last question and followed be some 
explanation. Sorry if it was not clear enough.

As "physical" I understand something that exists and
has a body, an extend. An empty buffer I understand as of no extend, but 
existing.

Thus the mark may exist whereas the region has no
extention. Thats possible with mark-active and
region-exist-p.

Therefor 

(not (eq (region-beginning) (region-end)))

as proposed by Juri for Emacs looks necessary to be
sure.
