Protection is, in general, intended only for passengers on connecting tickets.
To be clear, it is oneworld's policy to protect customers who have 2 separate tickets issued in the same PNR. If you have different PNRs you are out of luck, but this is not the case when you have 2 tickets in the same PNR. Usually, 2 tickets are 2 tickets as you said, but oneworld being an alliance does provide extra protection in this particular case if everything is in 1 PNR.
