I think what the first reply was trying to get across is that, if you get an FAA licence you can fly American registered aircraft. If you get a JAA licence, you can fly European registered aircraft.
The fact where it's built has no bearing.
You can fly an 'N' reg Airbus with an FAA licence.
You can fly a 'G' reg Boeing with a JAA licence.
And to answer your question, yes A330 for American with an FAA licence.

Im sorry but u will have to bear with me on this! Is there such a thing as a "B Reg" aircraft such as B737? Im not really understanding this at the moment! Is there a website that explains it in detail?

The B in B737 means it's made by Boeing. The A in A330 means it's made by Airbus. That is a very simple explanation. C = Cessna, PA means Piper, DHC means De Havilland Canada (now owned by Bombardier). EMB = Embraer.
The registration is like the registration plate on your car. Your car's made by Vauxhall but it's registered in Ireland.
Same with aircraft, they're made by Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Cessna and so on. If it has EI-xxx on it's fuselage (and wings) then it's registered in Ireland. If it has G-xxxx, then it's registered in Britain, likewise, an aircraft with VH-xxx = Australia and N- xxxx is the USA.
To fly an N-xxxx aircraft, you need an FAA license. It doesn't matter where the aircraft was built.
If you want to fly a EI-xxx, G-xxxx, F-xxxx (French) aircraft, then you'll need a JAA license.

JAA or FAA route?
Was going to post this in the Private Pilot forum but when I saw this thread, thought it would be more appropriate.
Want to do my PPL in the US but cannot decide if I should do FAA or JAA. Am Currently resident in Europe but there may be a chance that I'll move to the US in the future.
Considering I'm late in my 30s (so really want to get trained as quickly as possible) which route should I take (so that any conversion should be the least painless and costly)?
Thanks.
