The syntax you show is plpgsql. You cannot use that without a function.
(The alternative would be to script the bulk insertion client-side,
which I'd think is smarter anyway).

If what you need to do is batch processing of rows to produce other
rows, then maybe you can craft an INSERT .. SELECT query to do it
instead of this row-at-a-time approach.
