Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get Mathematica to treat these as boundaries that define a solid Region so I can numerically perform the integration? I've done such integrals before, but I had mathematical expressions for the surfaces; now I only have data to define the surfaces.

Daniel,
have a look at the TetGenLink tutorial. There a similar example is
discussed.
