This is what was "intended" for the rules to mean but the confusion comes from lack of consistency, training, etc. some *G lounges will admit Uclub, some *A business lounges will admit (like LH/LX/OS) but "technically" those Dragons should not admit Uclub. They only were intended to get admittance to *A branded lounges as mentioned above)
That is absolutely incorrect. From staralliance.com:
Paid Lounge Membership Customers: Eligible Paid Lounge Membership Customers have access to any Star Alliance member carriers' owned Business Class lounges.
