They sent back a reply saying “As Qantas is the first international carrier please contact Qantas for a quotation and ticket issuance.”

I see nothing in the rules or elsewhere on the oneworld website saying anything like this. Heck, the rules even permit AA and IB to ticket a Circle Asia, even when none of their flights can be used on that ticket.

It was established here a while ago that every OW carrier has to issue any OW product. So you could ticket this on IB. The reality however is that airlines will usually only ticket this if (as og has said) they have lots of flights. So yes, you could try to force CX into ticketing but it might not be successful. But maybe ticket through AA/JL/LA whoever else you have in the itinerary?
