Indeed. As well as using your individual HRTF you also need to back out the transfer function of the headphones plus add the tracking of head movements to adjust the HRTF in real time. This is what an accurate binaural recording means and it is all quite doable at modest cost if anybody believed there was a market for real high quality sound reproduction.

There are some other issues such as how we perceive low frequencies that would probably dictate the use of a supporting loudspeaker for an all out attempts at quality but, again, this is not really a problem.
