Heh... That's an interesting question!
However, the answer is No.

When using Energy Conversion, the attack result is always:
"Put up to 2 Energy cards from your discard pile into your hand."

The self-inflicted damage is a necessary consequence of the attack.
It is not a cost, and it does not "enable" the retrieval of the energy
cards.
