My very amateur reading of the paper is that it affects fetch-protected memory that is otherwise addressable by the intruder. So my wild guess is that it would affect fetch-protected common storage on any Z OS, but would not allow an intruder to read data in another address space. But my degree of certainty on the above analysis is very low.
