Yes, but the area under their control is quite large and remember that this area is developed, its not like Afghanistan. So at this time they kinda have their own small country. BTW their propoganda machine is much better than other organizations and their online presense is much larger. You yourself pointed out that a large number of Westerners are joining ISIS. This shows that the organization is much more diverse then say the TTP which drew support mainly from the tribal areas.
That said, IS poses no threat to Pakistan right now for the simple reason that Pakistan is too far away. Also, IS will find it hard to establish itself in Afghanistan because of competition from the Afghan Taliban who have a very clear conflict of interest with IS. BTW, at this time we have two people claiming to be Ameer ul Momineen, Baghdadi and Mullah Umar. Three if you count Nawaz Sharif
On a side note, Indians have gone mad. Don't mean to offend anyone, but Indians think that they are now a superpower and everyone is out to get them. Some Indians even thought the Large Hadron Collider would kill them
