Well, here is the link to the article and you can decide for yourself. I don't personally think so. It seems to be only First and Biz. The fact that they are offering it is a Lan Chile amenity not a Oneworld amenity. I can't remember offhand, but I think the BA arrivals lounge is the same in London. Otherwise, I don't remember any other place I have been that has offered an arrivals lounge at all.
I hope they don't, incidentally. Why should they offer a service that no other Oneworld carrier offers, save London, and then be forced to allow all the Oneworld flyers in it? Departures, I can understand. LA flyers get reciprocity with other airlines, so LA should provide the amenity. But until AA, CX, QF, IB, EI, and AY start ponying up for an arrivals lounge, the arrivals feature should be limited to whoever Lan Chile (or BA) believes should get the amenity. Just one flyer's opinion.

There are also AA arrivals lounges in London (Heathrow at the airport, Gatwick at a nearby hotel) and Paris (at the airport). In all cases they are restricted to AA passengers who arrived in first or business class. No oneWorld partner passengers. Status won't get you in.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there are more, but I don't know about them.
