The categories only exists for the owner of the address book, in this example 
the user 'family'. For technical reasons only the contacts you own can be 
categorized.

If you've chosen to save it in the shared address book, then it should only be 
stored there. But it will also show up if you select the "All" pseudo group, 
as that includes but your own and any shared contacts. Hence the name "All" :)
