LAN Colombia are definitely not yet a oneworld affliate yet - they may just be offering some reciprocal benefits as part of LAN .

With other LAN affliates, their oneworld affilation was announced in advance and dates set for them to become actual affliates. See this press releases from 2007: LAN Argentina and LAN Ecuador to join oneworld on 1 April

That press release mentions that LAN Argentina was launched in June 2005 and LAN Ecuador in April 2003 - both were LAN affliates of course - but they didn't become oneworld affliates (and mileage earning opportunities) until much later.

I'd wait for the press release/announcement to be sure of earning miles in AAdvantage or other programmes. Factors that may delay that announcement are the LAN Group's switch from Amadeus to Sabre this year, and the LAN merger with TAM - the membership of the future LATAM Group itself has not yet been decided or announced.
