It does not specify that the frequent flyer status must be with the carrier with which the passenger is flying.
It just shows, in the case of JL, First logo, followed by 3 JL status cards/logos. It doesn't really mean much in itself, with no background information.
What they should do is to have a card explaining the situation in English and Japanese and put it up on that board showing the eligibility criteria. In fact I'll dump that suggestion on them when I'm there next.
I have seen lots of completely confused and surprised people (myself included, once when flying on ANA in J on an F-less flight, with non-ANA Star Gold) caught by this rule.
