Yes it does; an EASA or UK PPL requires an individual rating for each of the following, flying at night, flying in IMC, flying IFR in controlled airspace, therefore if the FAA 61:75 licence is issued on the basis of a basic UK or EASA PPL with no night or instrument qualifications then the FAA licence is also only valid for Day VFR Only. As ratings are added to the UK/EASA PPL then you can apply to the FAA to have the privileges applied the FAA 61:75 licence.
In actual fact the original concept of the FAA 61:75 licence was to allow non US citizens the opportunity to fly 'N' aircraft while visiting the USA on say a holiday were they wanted to do some solo flying and was valid for use only within the 48 states of the US, this I believe can be extended for use outside the USA with a BFR.
