I'm not very experienced with .htaccess files, but there is something I found after a little Googling that's simpler than your method. I think it assumes that PHP is set up as an Apache module (which is often the case). You could try this:

<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html)$">
 SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

Just put the file extensions in that pipe-separated list and give it a shot. I use this 'FilesMatch' directive to apply gzipping to my css and js files on one of my websites and it works a treat.

Here's the site I referenced for this solution; it seems informative: http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess.php
