Not necessarily, if you can pass in a parameter equivalent to a node set
<files>
<file>file1.xml</file>
<file>file2.xml</file>
<file>file3.xml</file>
</files>

then you can use
document($param/files/file)
and get a node set of three document nodes, one for each file.

Often you need to use a programming API rather than the command line to
pass in a node set valued parameter.

If though (as I suspect here) there is no real main input document and
all the input is in the referenced files, you could use the above format
as your main input rather than as a parameter and use

document(/files/file)

with the same effect.
