Correct. The rule is quite specific:
# Customer must present a boarding card for the same day travel in international First Class on a Star Alliance flight
# Customer must be departing from the local airport in International First Class
Since you are not departing PDX in international F access is not permitted under that rule.
That being said, if you are on UA all the way through for PDX-SEA-NRT you are entitled to access to the PDX RCC (not really worth all that much, IMO; the PDX terminal has free wifi and is nice enough) based on UA policies as I understand them, but not on *A policy.
