Baggage charge on a codeshare flight ?

Just want to make sure .... I'm a loyalist to NW and kinda with other airlines:

Our flights are booked on NW.com, however are apparently operated by AS.

Do we need to pay for checked baggage on AS while my whole traveling party is GE on NW and therefore free of baggage fees ?
Can we accrue on AS ?

I found somewhat of an answer but need confirmation (or correction):
