These are the 356242's that I'm casting for my .380. The lube is Alox thinned a little with mineral spirits and JPW. It is one teaspoon of JPW to a teaspoon and a half of the Alox. The boolits are dry and ready to use. At this point, Do I just load as is or do I still need to lube the lube grooves with my normal bullet lube over top of the Alox/JPW coating ??

Just load them up. No need for additional lube. You have plenty on there now.
More than enough, actually, but it is what it is. Shoot em.
"These are the 365242's that I'm casting for my .380. "
I hope that is a typo because a 365xxx would be for the 9MM Makarov. Perhaps you mean a 356242 which in the 90-95 grain weight is correct for the .380 ACP. Two very light coats is always preferred as it dries quicker and remains less tacky.
Thanks Dusty ... corrected the 356242 typo.
