It counts as one of the allowed 16 segments in a Oneworld itinerary,
BUT is also counts as "touching" Asia, and so increases the continent count by one.
The relevant rule is:
"Travel between South West Pacific and Europe/Middle East on a single flight number/or by surface eg LON-SYD/MEL/PER vv, DOH-ADL/AKL/CBR/MEL/PER/SYD vv, is considered travelling via Asia. Continents South West Pacific, Asia and Europe/Middle East must each be counted."
