No because Focus Sash and Sturdy will not protect you from it.

This is because Focus Sash and Sturdy protect you from the enemies OHKO moves.

Well, yeah. BUT, does it say anything about the ability Rock Head, which prevents recoil damage? What about that?

Explosion and Selfdestruct's side effect are not recoil. They are a regular side effect, not recoil. Enough said.

Explosion and SelfDestruct aren't recoil. They're part of the attack itself.

Actually, there is. When your opponent has the ability Damp, the move will fail, causing you not to faint.
