Does that mean I could use HKG as a stopover on DFW-SYD? (In order to take CX, I will probably have to do something like DFW-SEA-LAX to take CX flight).
I think they are referring in the wiki that intra-asia and North America awards do not have to start or end in HKG. North America to Australia award on CX allows connection in HKG (north america awards get stop-over as well as intra-asia do not). If there is saver award space on Alaska and CX space available you should be able to book DFW-SEA-LAX-HKG-SYD with HKG stop-over
