I got it working, thanks also to Saverio who suggested me the solution via chat:
the wireless interface (/etc/config/network) on the AP must be attached to a bridge interface in order for the WDS station to be bridged automatically. on the station I did mostly the same, I attached the two SSID (one STA and one AP) to a bridge interface.
