If a 61.75 bears ASEL and AMEL, is a flight review required for each of those? I read that it can be in any category („The satisfactory completion of a flight review allows you to exercise the privilege of pilot in command in all categories and classes of aircraft on your pilot certificate.“) so a flightreview in ASEL is sufficient to fly AMEL as well?!

Yes, the regulation only specifies it must be performed in an aircraft for which the pilot is rated.
Sec. 61.56 Flight review.
