Yes that's correct.

Although both levels are equal, it's for you to decide whether there are any benefits in going after AA Plat status (such as ability to request upgrades using 500-mile vouchers, better AA mile redemption rates (and lower surcharge fees when redeeming on non-BA free flights), enhanced ability to accumulate AA miles via credit cards, lifetime status, etc), or going up to BA Gold (access to F lounges, better availability on BA reward flights in Y, better chance of opups and getting taken care of when things go wrong).
