You probably can also use pad(left: 1cm, <numbering>) instead of h() + , if you want. Or you can even reconstruct the heading and embed the spacing there, but be sure to wrap it all in block().

However, note that if you plan on using a period (or other symbol) at the end of the numbering format string, this will introduce an unwanted behavior when referencing a heading label:

#set heading(numbering: "1.1.")
= A <a>
@a.
#set heading(numbering: (..n) => numbering("1.1.", ..n))
= B <b>
@b.

This is because with a custom/user function, Typst can’t know if the last period is mandatory or can be lifted when a period already exist (at the end of a sentence).
