No, in that example you can connect through to Asia using any available port except JFK.

Exactly!

Does that mean I can never leave the U.S. for South America on the initial leg of an RTW, but instead have to begin in, say, BOS, and then connect to JFK? :confused:

In regard to connecting back through NA to Asia, it all depends upon what routes are available between SA and NA that enable transfer/connection to Asia - you simply cannot use the point of origin for such a transfer.
