Can I use IB Avios miles to book flight on CX or JL?

Yes you can use IB Avios to book all Oneworld awards same as BA, IB uses the same partner chart as BA.

ok so for example , SFO-HKG on CX F, cost 140000 + $59.40tax searching on BA. This will be the same price if i use IB Avios?

Since IB uses the same award chart as BA for partner flights I would assume so yes. Can say for certain about the tax without searching the specific award.
IB Avios work best for flights with connections on partners since they use length of all flight segments for the award cost rather than on per segment like BA.
As an example
1 segment=1 IB award
2 (or more) segments=1 IB award1 segment=1 BA award
2 segments=2 BA awards
3 segments=3 BA awards
