That's my read, yes.

And the transit through Asia does not need to be a single-plane through service (such as BA10, QF9, QF1 etc). It can be a valid connection, but must be transit and not stopover in Asia. So you can use something like QF51 BNE-SIN connecting to QF9 SIN-LHR. You can even use CX flights connecting in transit in HKG and changing planes and flight numbers.

Transiting Asia a second time does not require Asia to be counted twice in the continent count.

Viajero,

:-:'s for you. I have gone back to xONEx School and you are correct! ^

Countries/Continents/Intercontinentals/Transcontinentals.. it all now seems to make sense.

Basically, you can have 2 Intercontinental arrivals to Asia and 2 intercontinental departures from Asia when one of each combine to form a transfer between SWP and Europe. Except that you cannot transfer through your country of origin.

To test this I put this routing through the oneWORLD Validator: bkk-syd-sin-lhr-jfk-nrt-hkg-bkk.
1: BKK-SYD: intercontinental From Asia #1, to SWP
2: SYD-SIN: intercontinental From SWP, To Asia #1 (Transfer w/o Stopover part 1)
3: SIN-LHR: intercontinental From Asia #2, To Europe (Transfer w/o Stopover part 2)
4: LHR-JFK: intercontinental From Europe, to NA
5: JFK-NRT: intercontinental From NA, To Asia #2
6: NRT-HKG: 1st of 4 (Asia)
7: HKG-BKK: 2nd of 4 (Asia)

Congratulations!! Valid itinerary!!! - (28447 miles)
