That is correct. Secure connections between T4 and the other terminals on south side will take place by bus. No plans to reopen the tunnel and one less reason to do so when the bus port becomes operational.
As to the bus service between T4 and the other terminals, it will be unidirectional. Only the airside bridge between T4 and TBIT will be bi-directional to facilitate international/domestic connections between T4 and TBIT. Remember as well that AA plans to move all of its international ops (and perhaps some domestic ops) to TBIT by 2014 when all the gates become operational.
