ETA: or at least that's how it was before the earthquake -- haven't been there since.
There is someone in the domestic security area who asks to see your boarding pass, though it doesn't seem like a particularly stringent check (they don't bother asking for your ID, for instance). The only lounge in the domestic area is the Salones VIP Pacific Club, but unless you're a Diners Club or Priority Pass member or holder of certain Chilean bank/credit cards, I don't think there's any way in.
