Could it be possible that being in the presence of his maker would have made Gimli immortal

Nope. Only Elves are free from mortality. (With a few special exeptions) Aule cannot just change things as he sees fit. I presume that Legolas and Gimli went to Tol Erresea first, so, Gimli being rather aged, might've died there. Besides, Aule is thought to have created a hall in Mandos for Dwarves.
