The answer is "it depends".
Some codeshare routes....eg: Hanoi & Beijing are CX destinations whilst others eg: Copenhagen, New Orleans are not.
Have a look here for the complete route structure, incl codeshare & joint venture destinations

In terms of advertising, yes....Cathay fly to "92 destinations". But are they actual Cathay destinations? No.
Can you get there on a Cathay ticket? Yes (maybe) but will you have a Cathay boarding pass? No.
As an extreme example, Cathay codeshare with SCNF trains in France and the Eurostar between LON & PAR. I would hardly call Le Mans a Cathay destination.....but we can get you there!!
