You're correct, multiple precedents, QF wet leasing aeroplanes back in the 80s/90s, AN wet-leasing 747s from SQ to cover maintenance of their leased and self-operated 747-412s (and the -312s before them).
What isn't allowed from what I understood is what VA did with TT, worse yet, they were warned and warned and eventually got the rights cancelled (although I think that was instigated by the Indonesian side).
