All international First and Business Class passengers travelling on a same day international flight operated by a SkyTeam member have access to these exclusive facilities.

No elite status is required for access while traveling on an International flight if in a premium cabin. There are some caveats to that with regard to regional travel (Caribbean/Mexico/Canada), but overall it is accurate.
