Using `org-element' here would be sub-optimal. Headlines are context
insensitive, i.e., you don't need a parser to find one.
Anyway, the following should do:
(dolist (p (nreverse
(org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer 'headline) 'headline
(lambda (headline) (org-element-property :begin headline)))))
(goto-char p)
(org-id-get-create))
