I believe that is indeed correct, only for BA mainline flights.

Priority Reward is an opportunity for Gold card holders to book any available seat in any cabin, provided there are commercial seats available for sale on any flight for double the standard redemption rate. Priority Reward bookings can only be made offline, more than 30 days in advance and are open to BA mainline flights only

Here are the full T & C's:
  1. Gold Priority Reward allows Gold Executive Club Members only to redeem Avios points by making a booking from the available non-reward seats, using double the standard amount of Avios.
  2. Bookings to use double Avios can only be made by calling your Executive Club service centre and cannot be made online.
  3. Bookings must be made at least 30 days prior to the date of travel.
  4. Only available on British Airways marketed and operated flights.
  5. Gold Priority Reward is available subject to seat availability in the desired cabin of travel of a particular flight.
  6. Gold Priority Reward bookings are subject to applicable taxes, fees, charges and airline surcharges.
  7. Gold Priority Reward may not be used in conjunction with [i] Avios & Money, [ii] Gold Upgrade for One or Gold Upgrade for Two; or [iii] Avios for Upgrade or [iv] American Express Vouchers.
  8. Once booked, changes can be made both on Ba.com and by calling the service centre. Cancellations and/or refunds must be requested by calling the service centre. Redemption flight and services fees apply.
  9. Gold Priority Reward bookings are subject to the Terms and Conditions.
  10. For Gold Priority Reward bookings, the standard Avios price for a Reward booking will be debited immediately; and following this the additional Avios will be debited from the Gold Executive Club Member's account within 21 days.
  11. Telephone and online booking/service fees may apply.
