Connecting or continuing after stopover from an AA coded TATL flight, correct.

SYD QF LON AA JNB is invalid. AA do not have the rights/freedoms to sell LHR-JNB without an incoming TATL AA coded flight. The AA codeshares on BA flights that don’t touch N. America are restricted to “online connecting/stopover traffic only.”
