What I'm trying to do is to create a following CI flow with standard AWS tools: run a build of a commit when a Pull Request in Github is created or updated. Or run a build of any branch on my command. Very similar to what Codeship, Travis and many other CI services offer.
Is it possible with CodeBuild + CodePipeline? I noticed that I have to specify exact branch in CodePipeline and, unfortunately, could not find how to integrate Github Pull requests into it. Maybe I overlooked it?

CodePipeline integrates with multiple AWS and third-party services, including GitHub, AWS CodeCommit, CodeBuild, AWS CloudFormation, Amazon S3, and many others.
The main difference between the two is; AWS CodeBuild can be classified as a tool in the Continuous Integration category, while AWS CodePipeline is grouped under Continuous Deployment.
This step is optional if you have already created a build stage. On the Step 4: Add deploy stage page, do one of the following, and then choose Next: Choose Skip deploy stage if you created a build stage in the previous step. This option does not appear if you have already skipped the build stage.
A revision is a change made to the source location defined for your pipeline. It can include source code, build output, configuration, or data. A pipeline can have multiple revisions flowing through it at the same time.
CodeBuild now directly supports building GitHub pull requests (without Lambda intermediate step), if you're looking to simply run a build as part of the PR. For running more steps with CodePipeline as part of a PR, you'll still need to set up some scaffolding as the other answers suggest. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/09/aws-codebuild-now-supports-building-github-pull-requests/

CodePipeline does support basic, fully-managed integrations with both GitHub and CodeBuild, as listed in Product and Service Integrations with AWS CodePipeline. With these integrations, it is possible to use CodeBuild with CodePipeline to run a build of a commit when a commit is pushed to a branch on GitHub. See Use AWS CodePipeline with AWS CodeBuild to Run Builds for details on integrating CodeBuild with CodePipeline as a Build action provider, and see the Four-Stage Pipeline Tutorial for details on integrating Github with CodePipeline as a Source action provider.
Currently, the Pull Request feature in Github is not supported in the official CodePipeline integration, you did not overlook anything. For an interesting AWS-ecosystem open source project (not yet v1.0) that does support GitHub Pull Request integration (though not yet CodePipeline), you might want to check out LambCI.

It looks like this can be done somewhat manually by using Lambda and S3 - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/integrating-git-with-aws-codepipeline/
Webhooks notify a remote service by issuing an HTTP POST when a commit is pushed to the repository. AWS Lambda receives the HTTP POST through Amazon API Gateway, and then downloads a copy of the repository. It places a zipped copy of the repository into a versioned S3 bucket. AWS CodePipeline can then use the zip file in S3 as a source; the pipeline will be triggered whenever the Git repository is updated.
