Yes, but to redeem via Qantas directly I need to have THEIR miles, as opposed to Asia Miles, right? My credit card only allows conversion of points to Asia Miles or *A, and not to other airlines. So if I understand correctly, I have to make the booking via the Asia Miles website and it can't be done via Qantas?
No that's not correct. Your Asia Miles are redeemable for Qantas Flights. Take a look at the Cathay forum for advice how to do it.

Like others, I have no idea where you've been looking as there is no "oneworld" site that would tell you there's no availability. ( Similarly there is no *A redemption, only individual star alliance programs)

It should be doable online if there is award inventory. http://www.asiamiles.com/am/en/about/news/detail?refID=298d458f7fe41410VgnVCM1000000ad21c39R CRD
