Basically the introduction of Surf's and the instrumental parts after the chorus in objects are indeed the same.
Steinman uses the same chord progression a lot. If the song is in C major it would go like this for example: C, am, F, G.
This is used in Objects, Surf's, AFL and Making Love and probably in others too. I don't mind him re-using that. There are enough differences in these songs to make them unique in my opinion. It does often make a Steinman song sound more Steinmany if he uses those chords for choruses or summary parts etc.
But indeed the recycling of full songs has gone far enough in my opinion, to the extent where I really think a Bat out of hell musical is completely unnecessary to be honest.
