"When not taking into account mana restoration, it will pay off after the usage of its 6th charge."

This is only correct in terms of health per second, which is not as relevant as overall health restored per gold. The latter only pays for itself upon use of the 10th charge.

Health pot = 150 hp / 35 g over 15s

Flask = 100 hp / 225 g over 10s

225 / 35 = 6.43x the gold price

6.43 health potions restore 964 health. 964 health / 100 health per flask charge = 9.64 charges. So positive returns if only health is factored upon the 10th charge.
