Oddly enough, it seems the answer is both. It appears KA's coming into Oneworld in its own right...

While it is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific, Dragonair has retained its own brand and identity, market positioning and separate "KA" flight code.


...but the article continues by stating....

As a oneworld affiliate, Dragonair will offer the alliance's full range of services and benefits. This means its frequent flyers - who will all be integrated into Cathay Pacific's Marco Polo Club loyalty programme from 1 January 2007 - will be able to earn and redeem mileage awards on all other oneworld carriers.
