Yes, that is clearly what is being said. I don't go up there very often despite being a frequent guest, but it's something I've never seen, and it's very hard for me to believe that management would allow it. Also it is difficult to believe that a hooker would work a man who was there with a date.

I see. But the fact remains that Ginza is for the shopping and Rappungi is for the nightlife. And not viceversa.

In the entry level suite at the PHT, there is no door between the bedroom and the living room, although if you sit on the couch, you are not visible to the bedroom or vice versa. There is a door between the bedroom and bathroom. The suite is easily double the size of the Park Deluxe room.
Park Deluxe is 55 sq meters compared to 100 in the suite, so your assessment that the suite is "easily double the size" is incorrect.

In japan it is very unlikely in my opinion that hookers would "work" an hotel bar in the same way they do at Four Seasons New York or at the Plaza Athénée Paris, for example. Any hookers that might be at the New York Bar likely have come together with their "dates."

Technically, there is no wall between the entrance and the bedroom. There is a giant folded partition thing instead which acts as a wall, but leaves a crack of space open on the sides and top.

To avoid confusion, that giant folded partition you refer to is permanently mounted, it's more of an architectural attempt to give some variety to that wall than a partition, although it does leak some light through because of the way it is constructed. This style is repeated in portions of some of the other types of suites as well.
Different park suites have different sizes, the one I most commonly have stayed in recently has an entire hallway area with extra closets at the entrance before opening up into the suite. But I have never been in one that has a door between the bedroom and living room, although it still is a true suite except possibly for the absence of a small guest toilet room.

I suspect the post you have quoted was in reference to an "inside" joke from the Japan forum about a poster who famously made the statement that one should go to Ginza "for the shopping" and that "Rappungi" was the best place "for the nightlife."

Strange. I haven't been in 4501, but have been in other xx01 series rooms, all of which had a LR/BR door. Odd that they wouldn't be the same.

4501:
No door. If it's something one cares about, one should probably make a point of discussing it with someone at the hotel prior to arrival.
