But I suspect that your analysis is correct by analogy: I suspect that the AA Arrivals Lounge is better than nothing, but not as good as the BA lounge.
Whoops!

Never been to the FL/AL however I do believe it's beyond customs and security. There are several threads on how best to go to the FL and the fact that if your flying Biz you can get a pass that will help speed you back into the airport through customs.
Good luck!
