No, the Greenwich Lounge is a fourth type of lounge. Access is granted based upon status and itinerary, not membership. It seems as if it is a lesser Flagship Lounge replacement compared to the Soho Lounge.

From the linked article:

Quote:

Access will be granted to the following passengers:

American Flagship Business flyers (including on transcontinental routes).
American Platinum flyers on Flagship routes, including from the U.S. to:
Asia.
Australia.
Europe.
Middle East.
New Zealand.
South America (excluding Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela).
Access is available regardless of cabin class.
British Airways Club World passengers.
Oneworld Sapphire members from non-U.S. programs on any same-day Oneworld flights.

While American has historically only offered three tiers of lounges (Admirals Club, Flagship Lounge and Flagship First Dining), the co-location with British Airways in New York means there will now be four types of lounges at the airport.

Edited to add that Acidity beat me to it.
