It doesn't quite work that way.
Bluetooth receivers have a set of functional profiles which determine what the connected peripheral actually does. It's a set of instructions for inputs and outputs.
On a PC, you have almost the entire range of possible device profiles, so if you connect a Bluetooth device, it usually knows what to do with it.
On the PS3, there are a limited number of profiles, all of which are written directly into the firmware by Sony.
The fact that your headset doesn't work isn't surprising, unfortunately. I imagine it is Sony's way of forcing you to buy a new one.
