I think you mean AS MP can access award seats of some/major Oneworld or Skyteam members but not all of the respective airline members. As far as I understand, award availability is the same no matter what partnership for example that you get the same availability for AA miles or AS miles on BA or DL miles or AS miles on KE.

You will not find e.g. Kenya Airways award seats through Alaska. In most cases the partners Alaska has will take you where you need to go, but sometimes this can get annoying: I recently had trouble booking a CX award HKG-PEK because CX only operates one flight/day on that route. If I were using oneworld miles, I would have had access to Dragonair flights on the same route.
