No. It explicitly says that you retain your creature type, so healing spells continue to work. Healing spells do not detect the presence of the undead creature type.
"yet you register as undead to spells and other effects that detect the presence of the undead creature type" Unless someone higher says so, the verbiage states you cannot be healed by spells. lay on hand, healing word, cure wounds. all these spells has no effect on undead or constructs.

Again, none of those spells detects the presence of the undead creature type, which is the only thing the text you've quoted talks about. It's difficult to imagine any "higher" authority than literally the exact feature text.

So, for a one-shot a couple of friends and I are doing, I've made a Hollow One Bard (yes they are the doot meme) and I came across this passage:
Revenance. You retain your creature type, yet you register as undead to spells and other effects that detect the presence of the undead creature type
By this ruling, spells like Healing Word and Cure Wounds wouldn't work because they are classified as undead, right?

Nope, Healing spells work. The quote is (emphasis added):
"You retain your creature type, yet you register as undead to ((spells and other effects) that detect the presence of the undead creature type.)"
Only spells that DETECT the presence of the undead creature type 'register' him as undead. Basically, this is a social disability, not a healing one.
