No. You cannot use avios to discount a QR ticket. BA/IB avios are not a convertible currency.
You can use avios to get an award flight on QR if their is award availability

Often codeshares are only available in conjunction with a BA flight. Often you cannot purchase a stand alone flight. e.g. you cannot buy a BA coded QF flight SYD - MEL. But that flight can be purchased with LHR-SIN-SYD (BA) SYD-MEL(QF)
