I had no idea bluetooth could be so intrusive. For that reason, I'd say it's likely you would have to do some sort of bonding exercise, or else there would be too much of a risk of people getting crossed connections on their headsets.
There should be a setting that makes your phone ASK before recieving a file.

edit... come to think of it - if you've already got your devices set up with the phone you should be able to turn of 'discoverable' mode - or whatever your phone calls it.... Then no-on else can see your phone and send stuff to it

Just a couple of ideas.
