Correction he healed from damage and was immune to aging so long as he didn't look at the painting, you have no proof that he'd survive being beheaded or having his head smashed like a melon by a Mjolnir strike.

True immortality means being completely exempt from death. Asgardians aren't, as Odin hinted that the war with the Frost Giants cost Asgard dearly, I doubt he was talking about financials.
You'll notice that I said "immortal", I used the "" since the other person being called immortal was killed in the movie, so he obviously wasn't really immortal.
