Not true. You seem to have a fundamental lack of knowledge of ffp's.
If crediting to an airline ffp look at that airlines ffp web site. What another ffp would credit for the same flight is totally irrelevant.

(Cathay)Not quite—Asia Miles and Avios are separate loyalty currencies, and they aren’t directly interchangeable between Cathay (Asia Miles) and Qatar Airways (Avios), even though both are part of the Oneworld alliance. We recommend reaching out directly to Qatar Airways for further assistance. Due to our frequent flyer programs is different
