Looks like it. The Skyteam lounge in Sydney is quite nice, self serve beverages... 
Pretty quiet when I was there a couple of months ago, less than two years old so it isn't all jaded yet.

SkyTeam Elite Plus members, regardless of their travel class, are allowed access to a SkyTeam lounge at a particular airport if traveling on or connecting to/from a same-day international flight operated by a SkyTeam member airline. Simply present your same-day ticket for an international SkyTeam airline flight and a valid Elite Plus membership card.
In addition, SkyTeam Elite Plus members are allowed to invite a guest, who is also traveling on a flight operated by a SkyTeam member airline, to join them in the lounge. The guest does not necessarily need to travel on the same flight as the SkyTeam Elite Plus member.
Don't know if the Reserve card access applies to Skyteam lounges.

What matters at SYD is the bilateral partnership agreement between VA and DL. IIRC PM/DM get lounge access, but I'm not sure about the guest.
Reserve card only matters for SC access.

There is a relatively new Skyteam lounge at Terminal 1 on the departure level at Pier B. I was there last month.

A lot depends on the airport layout and whether security will allow you to get to the door of the lounge. I think DL and VA have an arrangement, but this could have changed when the new SkyTeam lounge opened.
