It does appear that you'll have access to the No1 Traveller Lounge.
Head to https://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access and type in BHX for the lounge listings.

after reading the overnight post above, my trip is as follows
YVR-DFW (o/n)-PHL-ZRH-PHL-YYZ-YVR
Will I have OW lounge access at YVR as an AA Plat? Or will I not because my TATL is the next day?
Will I have access at PHL/YYZ on the way back?
Just checking to make sure, as from the wiki
"For status-based access (PLT or EXP), passengers must: (1) be traveling on an international itinerary (Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and Mexico City, excluding the Caribbean and other destinations in Mexico), and (2) have an onward flight on a oneworld airline on the same day" both of these qualities are fulfilled.
(if by "oneworld airline" AA-marketed, non-OW operated flights count, as my YYZ-YVR is operated by WS but under an AA flight number)
YVR-DFW (o/n)-PHL-ZRH-PHL-YYZ-YVR

As for your way back...
As long as your PHL-YYZ is oneworld marketed/operated, you'll have lounge access in PHL. You won't in YYZ, though, as WS is not a oneworld member.
oneworld rules state (https://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access):
Members of oneworld airline frequent flyer programmes with the equivalent of oneworld Emerald or Sapphire tier status can use lounges offered by oneworld airlines when departing on any flight marketed and operated by any oneworld member airline, regardless of cabin class being flown

My guess is that you won't be able to get access in YVR. Certainly can't hurt to ask, if you wanted to show your interntaional BP and explain that you're taking an overnight connecton in DFW - not doing a stopover. (But I wouldn't push the issue too hard if I were you. Letter of the law does state "same day international," as you cited.)

They literally just took my YVR-DFW boarding pass and my Plat card and waved me in. I didnt even have to say I had a connecting flight to Europe or argue that "next day" should still be considered connecting or whatnot. So for a datapoint:
July 8 overnight YVR-DFW
July 9 DFW-PHL
July 9 PHL-ZRH
Cathay J lounge access in YVR was no problem
