What is the intended purpose of the angled jaws on the bottom of this pivoting pipe bench vise? Are those jaws primarily meant for holding hex nuts?

Those jaws are intended for holding small cylindrical or circular objects. This is an excerpt from a vise manufacturer's (Garvin Tools) description (no affiliation or advocacy, just an example):

Pipe Jaws: Multipurpose vises may also have pipe jaws or V-jaws that are designed to securely hold round objects like pipes and tubing.

An email from the manufacturer, Pony Jorgensen:

They are pipe jaws.
