Is the Halion Sonic 1.6.2 update also applicable to the Halion Sonic SE ?

Good question. Here Steinberg Forums its said,
DOWNLOAD HALION SONIC SE 1.6.3 FROM THE DOWNLOAD PAGE FOR YOUR CUBASE VERSION.
Downloads | Steinberg
But when you go to the dl page, theres nothing. Latest still 1.6.2. Here now its a Halion Sonic update, not SE. A bit weird, Steinberg should clear that.

For C7: I noticed that the HALion Sonic SE 1.63 update is bundled within the C7.01 update.
For C65: The download links are towards the bottom of the 6.5 download page.
