Yes CX does through-check separate oneworld tickets
The other oneworld carriers that offer this are AS, QR, JL, MH and UL.
(In specific scenarios QF and AY will also)
Look under the “Transfer Baggage” section for written confirmation of CX’s policy (keep this link handy in case you get any initial resistance from a potentially outsourced agent at SYD):
