The *A lounge policy explains the policies more clearly:

In theory yes - in practice maybe. I was denied entrance to the Air China lounge in CAN with a valid United Club card with the *A Lounge logo and a same day onward *A ticket. The lounge dragon kept repeating must be *G so the understanding of the policy and the training at the lounge level is lacking.
