I dont even think you can make proper binaural recordings as you wont have shoulder reflections (important elevation cue) or as Eric has already mentioned, the head, which will affect the ILDs and ITDs.
Under heavy assumptions you can, because our vertical resolution is so bad, staged sound is so stereotypical (partly because of past limitations in transmission technology), and because the variability in individual HRTF's means some contingent of the whole populus will always like even bad degraded against the mean reproductions. That's how 2-to-7.1 upconversion folks make their living.
Still, it requires prodigious amounts of processing power and deep psychoacoustics to do even that, and the result only works in a very limited setting. It has nothing to do with ambisonic, or even its highly processed forms like various infinite order dynamic decoding matrices. Such things assume *much* less about the sources than these kinds of schemes do, both physically and psychoacoustically.
So no, "this thing is not ambisonic". Maybe we should have a list of things that aren't, BTW, given that people keep on reinventing the wheel? Maybe as part of the motherlode? :)
