The IATA rules are to avoid you having as many different baggage allowances as there are airlines involved. Again it is for a journey (CAI-HKG) not just a ticket.
Since it was one continuous journey thanks to QRs ignoring OWs interlining rules. CX had to accept the luggage since both reservations were defined as one journey.
Doing the journey in reverse on these tickets then it would have been two separate journeys thanks to CX hiding behind OW rules and you would have had to collect and re-check your both luggage and yourself in BKK. You would have had CX baggage allowance for HKG-BKK and QRs for the other reservation.
