I'm not sure what material types that UE supports via USD. At the very least, I think you need MaterialX materials in Houdini to even have a chance.

I'm not sure they even support MaterialX, according to their docs they have some basic support for USD Preview Surface:

...
Support for Textures with USD Preview Surfaces
Support for Materials with PreviewSurface and DisplayColor
