QF decided to move 107 arrival over to TBIT instead of doing this nonsense. Only AA lost its arrivals facility (not enough pax), DL and UA and NZ still have theirs in T5, T6 and T2 respectively.
I don't think there are any international arrival facillities in LAX terminal 5. I think all DL international arrivals are using terminal 6 with a sterile corridor to the facillities at terminal 7. The terminal 6 at LAX honestly looks like an old Soviet style airport. Had a domestic arrival there on Delta, and seems like nothing was in shape. Bag claim for the flight still in terminal 5 though.
