Narrative:
I believe I took a point out via landline communications from the north controller on aircraft Y southbound VFR at 065. I thought the point out was accomplished because the top of my airspace is 060 and VFR traffic at 065 is still a factor for traffic I could potentially have at 060.I was working the V satellite sector. Aircraft X requested an RNAV approach runway 35 at uao via the full procedure over ubg. I approved his request and he was tracking direct ubg at 050. I then proceeded to resolve other conflicts and accomplish other satellite landline coordination. While accomplishing those tasks; I observed a ca (collision advisory) with aircraft X and aircraft Y over the ubg VOR at 050. I immediately issued a safety alert and turned aircraft X to the right in order to resolve the ca since it appeared aircraft Y was tracking south-eastbound.if I knew aircraft Y wanted to descend I would have taken radar contact on him and de-conflicted him with other traffic in my sector. I think we have a cultural problem of being 'too loose' with reference to working aircraft in other controller's airspace.

Narrative: I believe I took a point out via landline communications from the N controller on Aircraft Y southbound VFR at 065. I thought the point out was accomplished because the top of my airspace is 060 and VFR traffic at 065 is still a factor for traffic I could potentially have at 060.I was working the V satellite sector. Aircraft X requested an RNAV approach RWY 35 at UAO via the full procedure over UBG. I approved his request and he was tracking direct UBG at 050. I then proceeded to resolve other conflicts and accomplish other satellite landline coordination.
