Yes, lounge access for IB pax outside Spain is a bit of a mystery...
I called IB in the USA and asked about lounge access at CDG for J pax heading to MAD and was told yes, no problem.
At CDG I was told there was no lounge, but was given a food voucher for EUR 19.
When I tried to use it, I was told it had to be used at the restaurant before security...and it really was not worth going back through security.
To be fair, their lounges in the new terminal at MAD are quite nice.
