Only the hosts from the viewed page are selected as targets for REX.
This is the normal, and I would argue expected behaviour of "select all" checkbox -- it applies to currently displayed items only (pls. take a look at gmail and/or other web-based UIs to verify this). I would also argue that selecting items not present on the screen is bad UI -- we'd be mixing UI-based and bulk actions.
One way to resolve the issue would be to have "show all items" option on the that screen. Another alternative would be to have a dedicated bulk execution UI which would apply to all hosts only, without ability to pick hosts individually.
Actually, there is similar option as in GMail (see the screenshot), to select all hosts: in this case, the search should be used for targeting.
