I don't think it's anything to do with "destinations" - rather, it's which OW airlines have interline e-ticketing with the other OW airlines.
If you get your ticket from AA, provided you're only flying OW airlines, it will be electronic, as AA has interline e-ticketing with all the other OW carriers.
The press release says -
"Interline e-ticketing ... is now in place between ten of the 28 potential pairings of oneworld partners, with another seven pairs on schedule to offer the service during the next couple of months.
By then, [i.e., once 17 of the 28 possible pairings are in place] interline e-ticketing will be in place to cover more than 90 per cent of passengers connecting worldwide between oneworld member airlines. The rest of the alliance’s network.. will offer the service by the end of this year."
Whether or not you can can get an e-ticket depends on (a) which OW airline you get the ticket from and (b) which other OW carriers are in your itinerary.
