AS already lets in everyone and their stepmother through Priority Pass, so it's not like they've been trying to limit exclusivity. I'd be very surprised if they don't let in VX Golds; I also don't know why it would matter, since my VX Gold was matched to AS MVP 75K which I assume would get me access anyway (true, or only if flying AS?).
