EASA PPLH -> FAA PPLH: 14 CFR 61.75 vs 61.56

In plain english: is completing an FAA biennial flight review according to 14 CFR 61.56 required to be able to exercise the privileges of an airman's PPL license issued under 14 CFR 61.75 ?

section 61.75 describes the ruling for a piggyback FAA license "based on a foreign PPL"; (EASA PPL(H) and its rating are eligible)
section 61.56 among other things mandates a flight review "every 24 months"

YES would mean I'd have to do my annual prof. check in EASA land + a FAA light review (1h ground, 1h in flight) every two years.

NO means the FAA license issued under sect. 61.75 is a true piggy back, whose validity is directly synchronized to the EASA license's, it is just paperwork.

Anyone here got himself a FAA license under sect. 61.75 recently (EASA time)?
Those sections are really good at hyperlinking to each other.
