Yes, it is the same text that has been around for some time in the OW Planner; but note the following (emphasis is mine):

Customers flying First or Business Class have access to the equivalent class of lounge regardless of their frequent flyer status...
and now compare it with access by status rules (same source):

If you are a top-tier member of one of our frequent flyer programmes, you will have access to any of these lounges...
As you can see there is a difference, and at least one airline (CX) has stated that in their view access by Class, without status, is only available to pax flying that particular airline (CX), not -any- OW airline.
