So, does this take the place of needing a BFR? If I go to the U.S. and fly a N- aircraft, would I have to go through the time and expense of the BFR?
Anyone know the FARs well enough to inform me?
Thanks.

As a US CFI-G and frequenting the FAA FSDO (DPE want a be) I would say not. The FAA is quite conservative on these issues and the FARs are clear on certificate currency (Pt 61). You must have a flight review within the past 24 calandar months to remain current. Do not believe it has to be in the same catagory and class though. JCL
