I would love if that were true, but have never found any case over thousands of tries since CX introduced the restrictions maybe a year ago.
As I mentioned earlier, one explanation I got (besides the bad CX-BA relations) is that BA intra-Asia awards are very cheap in terms of avios and therefore in terms of what BA "pays" to CX.
As DPS is beyond 2,000 miles (140TP earned on HKG-DPS J tickets), the avios cost is high and that may cause more availability.
The city pairs mentioned were from my personal experience, I remembered taking advantage of those a couple times but am too lazy to recall.
There were a few tickets (all classes) which could be booked by BAEC but not CXAM to Europe but I ended up not taking that trip.
Not suggesting BAEC offers more tickets but their availabilities don't 100% match.
Anyway YMMV, just a warm reminder for you to check BAEC while looking for awards on CX (>T-7)
