"Translation: turn up at airport, do a quick circuit, collect pax, go flying. Type nothing to do with it."
... but bear in mind, you still have had to have done THREE t/o and landings in the previous 90 days before taking pax (irrespective of day or night)...
in other words, you can only "turn up and do a night circuit before taking pax" IF you've already done at least 2 other t/o and landings in the last 90 days....
... and you're right, type and imc ratings have nothing to do with it.
