Internationally are not that many OWE only lounges. QF First. JFK Soho Lounge. Maybe some Qatar QR (QR lounges have different access rules compared to most OW lounges). Are others. For AA look the Flagship & AC access rules.
If you look the OW web site most lounges have the emerald & sapphire logo. Only a few have the emerald only logo.

AS is a distance based ffp. Compared to AA which is primarily a revenue based, with different earning rules for other flights like partners.
For international travel WN does nothing for you. The power of worldwide alliances:- Oneworld, Star & Skyteam
