Think of AS's as countries (not the best analogy but...) If you need to get to the UK from Japan thru the US, then the route would be from Japan ---->US---->UK, right?
Now once you land in the US, say in LA, then the US will decide how you will make it to the UK through the US. For ex. US might want you to fly straight to NY and then to London or US might want to first fly to Detroit, then NY and then London or some other way. Thus, AS1 (Japan) knows only of getting to the UK thru the US but cannot dictate how that traffic will get routed thru the US to reach the UK.
