I believe the future of the optical tech is going to be custom screens. They'll be shaped for the optics and have a pixel layout to complement the optical distortion. Has there been any talk about this?

Yes, they did talk about this briefly. I believe Carmack talks about it in his keynote (video linked in another HN news post). Basically the issue in the near to medium term is that VR isn't a big enough market to drive the development of custom displays yet. Display hardware design is still primarily focused on the needs of smartphones and Oculus has to work with what they can get from Samsung right now.
