You may misunderstand LONEx rule.
Your simple LONE4 route from UK will be LHR-JFK-SYD-HKG-LHR.
So, what do you mean "I'll use miles to get back from Asia" ?
If you want to visit US and AU from Europe, you have to use XONE4 products.
Threfore, it automatically includes flights from AU to Europe (via Asia).
