No. PPS lounge benefit when flying non-partner airlines is limited to Silver Kris Lounges - there is none in CMB. PPS is also *G, the *G lounge benefit is limited to flying *A airlines - CX is not.

If you're flying in a premium cabin on CX, then you'll gain access. With the new concourse now open, IIRC there are 3 lounges now. Sri Lankan has a large one (and very nice it is, too) in the main terminal, and IIRC, there were 2 additional lounges as you enter the new concourse. One on either side. So I would imagine CX uses one of those.

I flew CX ex-CMB last year. I flew ex-CMB on Sri Lankan Airlines last week. As best as I can tell (and I looked) the lounges remain the same as last year, even though there is a new concourse open. Thus, you go up the escalator and turn left to the indifferent restaurant/lounge used by CX for its premium passengers. The very nice Sri Lankan lounge is to the right. (You get a free 10 minute massage in it.
