If so you could bring the head from another world and hang it in the new one for the buff while still leaving the world level low.

Yes, the source of the head is not important. However I am not sure if hanging the head registers the world level or not. I am not sure the world level still works that way; I am getting hard hit by swamp invasions and I just got there, not even found the boss marker yet.

The world level goes up when you beat the boss, not when you hang the head.
I was just wondering if the option to hang was there before you kill the boss.

If so that is pretty cool if you want to be able to swap out boss powers in a low level world.
