I'll post some more pics as I'm struggling to work out your suggestion.
The issue is the frame is wood and you can't plaster on top of it.
Here is a birds eye view of the issue.
At the moment the wood frame is flush. But after the skim it'll be too low.

aha! the idea in my head is screwing plasterboard to the current wood door lining and skimming on top of that, then the gap can be filled and a corner bead used atop

To solve a similar problem (plasterboard butting up not very flush to an aluminium frame), I used angled pine moulding / beading.

so remove the red bits; board the yellow, stop bead the green*, corner bead the blue
or you could go do a fancy and instead of plastering the yellow bits, use some nice wood/other material as a posh liner of sorts.
*might not be needed, we had these types of areas just plastered to butt up against the door frame, not perfectly clean, but not at all noticeable when lived in day to day
