If you're arriving on CX then you're entitled to use its Arrivals Lounge in HKG, so no need for the above.
Actually there is a trick to this and I don't want to post it here, so PM me if you want to know. Basically you can't just expect to get back to immigration/arrivals section after u use the lounge. There is a procedure you need to go through.

As for the Arrivals Lounge in HKG. Do note that if you are on Transit, then you CAN'T use it!
