Stuck yes, it would appear so, leaving oneworld means leaving oneworld's lounges. AC leaves from T2 and I can't think of any viable options for you there. unless you are Star Gold or something similar. World's worst airport? You haven't lived! I'll raise you to Simón Bolívar International, CCS. Or LTN.

If it's a really long layover, take the city bus to In-N-Out Burger. You could try and blag your way into the Admirals Club in T4, they sometimes are prepared to accept people after travel, but I wouldn't show your AC boarding pass. Alternatively Alaska do "paid for" entry in T6, at USD 45 for a day pass.
