Status Match/Challenge thru *A partners

As a Delta Diamond, I actually like their service and response, but it should come as no surprise to anyone here how much "SkyPesos" are beaten to death...

That said, I am considering a status challenge on UA for the more valuable miles, but I am reading in the terms that it only miles on UA count, NOT *A partners? Reading further, it seems I wouldn't get *G privileges either, which definitely sours the proposition a bit. Almost all of my travel is international, and traveling to Europe sounds much more appealing in LH or LX than UA., or NH/SG/TG to Asia.

Can anyone confirm that EQMs earned on partners indeed do NOT help reach the match requirement?

Thanks
