"Only applicable to Cathay Pacific paid tickets in fare classes C and J."
No offence, but I don't think the above FTers understood your question - as it indeed can be interpreted in different ways.
I guess your question relates to the "Guaranteed Business Class seat" benefits CX DMs enjoy at the moment - that's why you quote the term
"Only applicable to Cathay Pacific paid tickets in fare classes C and J."
Correct me if I am wrong but I think you misunderstood the meaning of "Only applicable to Cathay Pacific paid tickets in fare classes C and J." which associates with the "Guaranteed Business Class seat" benefit.
This term means if you are a DM, bought a business class fare under class C or J, CX will guarantee such a Business class seat even Business class is full/oversold. This is a guaranteed benefit. However it doesn't mean CX will guarantee you a Business class seat when you buy a Y ticket under whatever class it is.
As some of the comments above indiciate, CX does not offer "complimentary upgrade" to DMs like what AA does.
Hope it helps to solve your confusion.
