If this is the case, then would the reservations department not HAVE to amend my reservation to add SGN-HKG and LAX-xHKG-SGN to the PNR so that I can apply the ticket to the PNR?
No, no, and thrice no. "Point of Sale" HK (so your HKG-LAX booking) will have different availability to POS SGN. You need to make a new booking as if you are buying the ticket in SGN (e.g. online or through reservations)
Segments with stopovers are still married.
About the only way to do it would be to add another airline's segments. I.e. you could add a CI flight for the HKG-TPE vv bits. Of course, your D ticket is unlikely to let you fly CI, so you would need to buy new tcket
