My guess is that as a Skyteam Elite you can access ANY Skyteam lounge on the day of your flight so, if your airline has a tiny lounge or uses a sub-par contracted one, you can use others used by other Skyteam airlines.

AFAIK it's universally available. Mind you, KE's programme seems quite strange to me, and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't give you EQM on other Skyteam flights before you become Elite with them!
