When you arrive into GVA you remain airside, so you don't need another boarding pass to remain airside - it's a bit like AMS in that respect. If you want to remain airside in the non Schengen area you need to the do advertised U turn before passports, if you do so after Schengen then you have to remain in Schengen since Passports may well want to glance at your boarding pass. You probably won't get lounge access under any scenario since they tend to prevent lounge entry until approximately 2 hours before departure. The lounge is due to close for renovation in the near future, though I don't have the date.
