If 'gdalinfo -proj4' provides a reasonable string, you can just as well use

 - grass75 -c geofile GISDBASE/LOCATION_NAME/MAPSET
 - the location wizard using this georeferenced data file
 - from within GRASS 'g.proj georef= location='
 - from with GRASS r.in.gdal location=

to create a new location. The result will be the same.
