In reality I don't think it would be a problem to claim that 10kg allowance by just flashing your card! Its a pity baggage allowance is not a one world benefit - had issues with CX in the past!
Producing the card and quoting the pin is not an issue. I always carry it. And that condition (Paragraph 6.4 in the
Terms and Conditions) makes no reference to the need to have the FF number associated with the booking - just that you must be able to produce the card and quote the PIN if requested.
So having an AA Nobody number in the booking, and waltzing up to the F check-in queue with 10Kg or an extra piece of baggage to be checked should not be a problem so long as you have your QF Platinum card in hand and can quote the PIN is requested.
The intent of that clause is to ensure only the owner of the membership account is using the benefits. And if you have earned Platinum (or lifetime Gold or similar) status with Qantas, then I can't find anything that stops you using the associated benefits while having another airline's FF number associated with the reservation for the purposes of earning points/miles/status with the other airline.
