In your case, you get access 2 different ways.
1) You are AC E (*G) travelling on a *A airline, this will get you into any *G.
2) You have a premium class ticket on a *A airline, this will get you into any *G lounge.

You'd actually be SOL if UA did have a RCC in YVR as they don't provide lounge space for domestic flights even in F. But for AC, flying business=lounge access. In your case, you'd access the transborder MLL after you clear US customs and immigration.

The original post doesn't say that the passenger has status. And MLL's don't admit arbitrary Star Alliance premium passengers, unless they have status, do they?
For instance, someone travelling on a UA domestic F ticket can't merely go to the LAX T2 MLL and gain entry, can they?

I dont know about UA domestic F (as the US airlines have their own arrangements for flights within North America) but most international *A carriers can use one anothers' lounges if they have status or travelling on a premium class... However, for AC/J or AC*G members can use NZ lounge if they want @ LAX.
As for OP's situation, your UA/F boarding pass from YVR to ORD will grant u access into AC's MLL (transborder)

I didn't get get the information about AC E status from the original post, it was in the program information that appears next to the user name. It appears to me that this has been updated since my post (but I readily admit that I could have mixed it up with a post I read in another thread).
If the OP has no status and is flying UA on the return, there will be no lounge access at a RCC (IIRC they will not be able to access the LAZ T2 lounges without a BP for a flight leaving from T2).
