Hey Daniel,
No problems getting into the AA lounges with your QF gold card. Regardless of itinerary or travel class. I often fly via Chicago and visit the Admirals Club there. Just show them your gold card and boarding pass at checkin - they write down your name and number, which i guess then gets billed back to QF.
I think the info you were reading on AA's website refers to their own QF Gold equivalent (AA Plat) who arent allowed in the lounge except on int flights - we get treated well with lounge access compared to the AA elites, but they have lots of other perks, so i guess it balances out.
You should also get two drink coupons - apparently thats some deal that QF have with AA because QF club members are used to free drinks. The Admirals Club in LAX is the best I've been in, and I would highly recommend a visit after your long QF flight from MEL as the showers there are awesome, especially after that flight.
Cheers
James
