Yes. I believe x264 already takes care of not predicting from
mbs in another slice.

Each slice begins with the slice header and NAL start code, so 
the decoder can resync to the NAL start code if the previous slice 
is lost or damaged. I believe it is not necessary to have frame header
 for each slice. Slice header should suffice.

This is part of slice header (start mb of each slice is in its header).
