The above limitation only applies to AA passengers, not to QF/CX/BA/etc International Business/First Class itinerary passengers traveling on AA flights.
Actually as a non-AA oneworld passenger flying on an International Business Class itinerary, at a minimum you will have lounge access on any day you have an international departure, including all NA international flights like US-Canada, US-Caribbean, US-Mexico, etc.
From AA.com: For American Airlines passengers, International is defined as Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and Mexico City. You also
might have lounge access on domestic US flights since you are on an International Business Class itinerary, but I will let others answer who have had actual experiences.
As a QF (OW Ruby) passenger traveling on a International Business Class itinerary you will not be allowed any guests. See detailed rules below for clarification:

Also for further clarification from oneworld.com at this link,
http://www.oneworld.com/ow/ffp/lounge-access/search, is the following:
American Airlines AAdvantageŽ Program: American Airlines AAdvantageŽ Program members, regardless of their tier status, may not use lounges when traveling on solely North American itineraries (defined as within or between the USA, Canada, Mexico [except Mexico City], the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Caribbean). In these cases, access rules are governed by American Airlines' own rules (i.e. paid lounge-access membership)
