Does it mean that for 205K per ticket miles I could do the following?

HKG-JFK on CX 8059 miles (in F)
JFK-LHR on BA 3442 miles (in F)
LHR-MAD on IB 774 miles (in J)
MAD-VCE on IB 874 miles (in J)
VCE-LHR on BA 715 miles (in J)
LHR-HKG on CX 5983 miles (in F)

Total 19847 miles travelled?
No... you earn 8059 miles when you travel HKG-JFK in Y class, but it is totally different for upgrades and award tickets.

A quick search on AsiaMiles.com shows that you need 220,000 miles to redeem a round trip award ticket, HKG-JFK, in F.

Go to the Asia Miles homepage to look it up.
