Your are right, that head gasket is supposed to be included in the deck height measurement on a 2.0. With the .25mm gasket you should be good to go. So as you are measuring above, now include the thickness of the gasket to your deck height.
You are measuring now at .40mm then you add the .65mm of the head gasket, you end up with 1.05mm deck Height which is perfect!
You should stilll dry build the #1 cylinder and head to check deck height and piston clearance.
2.2 liter engines and later do not have a gasket that adds thickness in this measurement, only the 2.0.
