No.

Headmasters is the Japanese continuation of the Transformers series. It skips the 3 Rebirth episodes, and starts it's own continuity.
The Madman G1 set is the complete American G1 series.

If it is any consolation, Madman will be releasing the Headmasters series along with the other Japan only series: Victory and Masterforce in the not too distant future.

Headmasters is slated for a November 2007 release.

If they follow a similar release schedule to what they used for Beast Wars, every 6-8 months we should get a new Japanese series from Madman.
Although I'd bet it might be a little longer, as they have to sub/dub these series.

Like many tv series, in the US, when viewship is down, it just gets cancelled. Viewership was more popular in Japan, with the whole robot craze, that they naturally picked up and ran with it themselves.
