I'm not sure about non-US/UA *A Gold though (e.g., with SQ or LH).
*G Lounge access in the U.S. is confusing. I've managed to piece together the following "rules" based upon what people have posted in the *, UA, & US forums, & websites.
In the U.S., as long as you are not a US or a UA *G you can enter any *G lounge with a same day * ticket.
For US & UA *G
To use a US Air Club, you must be a *G or flying Int F or C, and on an international ticket leaving N.A.
To use a RCC, you must be a *G or flying Int F or C, and on an international ticket.
UA considers Canada and other places in N.A. to be other countries for lounge access while US doesn't. I found this one out in Jan I was flying to YVR on US & AC.
In PHL I could use the RCC but not the US Air Club. I had no issues in SEA using the RCC coming and going, or in YVR using the Maple Leaf lounge on the return.
