When you get right down to it, isn't that the point of a codeshare?
ATW bookings may be different, but typically AA will only sell you a code share on a flight to/from the US or when connecting to the US. For example, I don't think you can fly the JO operated AA codeshare from SIN to NRT, unless you transfer to a flight operated by AA to the US.

I continue to learn..
