FAA vs. EASA, registration vs. territory: who's got to choose the applicable law?

Assumption:
Someone has valid EASA PPL(H) with one single rating for a HU269
and an FAA PPL(H) piggy backed via 14 CFR §61.75

She did buy and properly insure an N-registered JetRanger.

According to an FAA inspector she can act as PIC in the USA on said Type, w/o any FAA madated prior training or checkflight.

Question: Can she do that in EASA Land, too?

AFAIK
a) the EASA lic permits one to fly any helo registered in an ICAO state in EASA territory as long as one has a current rating for the type,
regardless of the maintenance requirements of the registering ICAO state.
=> NO, appropriate rating is missing.

b) an FAA lic permits the holder to act a as pic on any helo, as long as he has completed a recent flight review (BFR), regardless of regsitration.
=> YES, license and BFR are ok, and it's even an N-registered a/c.
