Not according to the OneWorld lounge access rules - Emerald and Sapphire members may invite one guest to join them in the lounge. The guest must also be travelling on a flight operated and marketed by a oneworld carrier.
This is different to the rules for Qantas Club members i( which Qanats Gold/Platinum members are) nviting guests into a Qantas lounge where Qantas's rules apply
Cannot find ( though may have missed it ) a page which states that a guest need not be travelling when accessing using non QF OW status
