For the other implication I could not come up with anything good so far. Because I do not really know what $mathcal{F}$ is, I will have to use

          If $A$ is measurable (meaning it belongs to the product sigma algebra) then $Acap (Omega times (t,infty))$ is measurable . Its section ${omega:(omega,y) in Omega times (t,infty) text {for some}, y}$ is measurable. Hence $f^{-1}(t, infty)$ is measurable for each $t$ and $f$ is therefore measurable.

          $Rightarrow:$ Suppose that $f$ is $mathcal{F}/mathcal{B}$-measurable.
          We assert that
          $$
          A=bigcup_{rinmathbb{Q}}f^{-1}left((r,infty]right)times(0,r).
          $$

          For, let $(omega,y)in A$, then $0<y<f(omega)$. By density of
          $mathbb{Q}$, there exists $r_{0}inmathbb{Q}$ such that $y<r_{0}<f(omega)$.
          Then $omegain f^{-1}left((r_{0},infty]right)$ and $yin(0,r_{0})$.
          That is, $(omega,y)in f^{-1}left((r_{0},infty]right)times(0,r_{0})subseteqbigcup_{rinmathbb{Q}}f^{-1}left((r,infty]right)times(0,r)$.
          Conversely, let $(omega,y)inbigcup_{rinmathbb{Q}}f^{-1}left((r,infty]right)times(0,r)$,
          then there exists $r_{0}inmathbb{Q}$ such that $(omega,y)in f^{-1}left((r_{0},infty]right)times(0,r_{0})$.
          Therefore $f(omega)>r_{0}$ and $0<y<r_{0}$ and hence $(omega,y)in A$.



          For each $rinmathbb{Q}$, $f^{-1}left((r,infty]right)times(0,r)inmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$,
          where $mathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$ is the product $sigma$-algebra.
          Now it is clear that $Ainmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$ because
          the union is a countable union.

            @babemcnuggets It is hard to directly prove that $A=cup_n A_n$. (In fact, I don't know if we really have $A=cup_n A_n$.) For the converse, you need the fact that any section of a measurable set $Ainmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$ is measurable. I include a detailed proof below.

          $begingroup$

          For the converse and Murphy's proof, let me elaborate it a little
          bit, especially about the measurability of sections.



          Let $(X_{1},mathcal{F}_{1})$ and $(X_{2},mathcal{F}_{2})$ be measurable
          spaces. Let $X=X_{1}times X_{2}$. For $i=1,2$, let $pi_{i}:Xrightarrow X_{i}$
          be the canonical projection map defined by $pi_{i}(x_{1},x_{2})=x_{i}.$
          Let $mathcal{F}=mathcal{F}_{1}otimesmathcal{F}_{2}$ be the product
          $sigma$-algebra. It is fundamental that $mathcal{F}$ is the smallest
          $sigma$-algebra on $X$ such that for each $i$, $pi_{i}$ is $mathcal{F}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable.
          Moreover, if $(Y,mathcal{G})$ is a measurable space and $f:Yrightarrow X$
          is a map. Then $f$ is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}$-measureble iff for
          each $i$, the composited map $pi_{i}circ f:Yrightarrow X_{i}$
          is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable. This is known as the
          universal property of product $sigma$-algebra.



          Now let $a_{1}in X_{1}$ and $a_{2}in X_{2}$. Define $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$
          and $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ by $iota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=(x_{1},a_{2})$
          and $iota_{a_{1}}(x_{2})=(a_{1},x_{2})$. We can verify that $iota_{a_{1}}$
          is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable and $iota_{a_{2}}$
          is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable. For example, note that
          $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=x_{1}$, i.e., $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}=id_{X_{1}}$,
          the identity map on $X_{1}$, which is clearly $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{1}$-measurable.
          $pi_{2}circiota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X_{2}$ is the constant
          map $x_{1}mapsto a_{2}$, which is also $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{2}$-measurable.
          By the universial property of product $sigma$-algebra, it follows
          that $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.
          Similarly, $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.



          If $Ainmathcal{F},$ then $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{2}$
          and $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{1}$. However, by writing
          out $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)$, we have $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)={x_{2}mid(a_{1},x_2)in A}$.
          Similarly, $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)={x_{1}mid(x_{1},a_{2})in A}$.



          We are now ready to prove the converse $Leftarrow:$ Suppose that
          $Ainmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$. Let $t>0$ be arbitrary. Define
          $iota_{t}:OmegarightarrowOmegatimesmathbb{R}$ by $iota_{t}(omega)=(omega,t)$.
          By the above discussion, $iota_{t}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}$. But
          begin{eqnarray*}
          iota_{t}^{-1}(A) & = & {omegamid(omega,t)in A}\
          & = & {omegamid0<t<f(omega)}\
          & = & f^{-1}left((t,infty]right).
          end{eqnarray*}

          Moreover, $f^{-1}left((0,infty]right)=bigcup_{n=1}^{infty}f^{-1}left((frac{1}{n},infty]right)inmathcal{F}$.
          Finally, if $t<0$, we have $f^{-1}left((t,infty]right)=Omegainmathcal{B}$
          because $f$ is non-negative.

            For the converse and Murphy's proof, let me elaborate it a little
            bit, especially about the measurability of sections.



            Let $(X_{1},mathcal{F}_{1})$ and $(X_{2},mathcal{F}_{2})$ be measurable
            spaces. Let $X=X_{1}times X_{2}$. For $i=1,2$, let $pi_{i}:Xrightarrow X_{i}$
            be the canonical projection map defined by $pi_{i}(x_{1},x_{2})=x_{i}.$
            Let $mathcal{F}=mathcal{F}_{1}otimesmathcal{F}_{2}$ be the product
            $sigma$-algebra. It is fundamental that $mathcal{F}$ is the smallest
            $sigma$-algebra on $X$ such that for each $i$, $pi_{i}$ is $mathcal{F}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable.
            Moreover, if $(Y,mathcal{G})$ is a measurable space and $f:Yrightarrow X$
            is a map. Then $f$ is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}$-measureble iff for
            each $i$, the composited map $pi_{i}circ f:Yrightarrow X_{i}$
            is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable. This is known as the
            universal property of product $sigma$-algebra.



            Now let $a_{1}in X_{1}$ and $a_{2}in X_{2}$. Define $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$
            and $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ by $iota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=(x_{1},a_{2})$
            and $iota_{a_{1}}(x_{2})=(a_{1},x_{2})$. We can verify that $iota_{a_{1}}$
            is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable and $iota_{a_{2}}$
            is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable. For example, note that
            $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=x_{1}$, i.e., $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}=id_{X_{1}}$,
            the identity map on $X_{1}$, which is clearly $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{1}$-measurable.
            $pi_{2}circiota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X_{2}$ is the constant
            map $x_{1}mapsto a_{2}$, which is also $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{2}$-measurable.
            By the universial property of product $sigma$-algebra, it follows
            that $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.
            Similarly, $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.



            If $Ainmathcal{F},$ then $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{2}$
            and $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{1}$. However, by writing
            out $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)$, we have $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)={x_{2}mid(a_{1},x_2)in A}$.
            Similarly, $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)={x_{1}mid(x_{1},a_{2})in A}$.



            We are now ready to prove the converse $Leftarrow:$ Suppose that
            $Ainmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$. Let $t>0$ be arbitrary. Define
            $iota_{t}:OmegarightarrowOmegatimesmathbb{R}$ by $iota_{t}(omega)=(omega,t)$.
            By the above discussion, $iota_{t}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}$. But
            begin{eqnarray*}
            iota_{t}^{-1}(A) & = & {omegamid(omega,t)in A}\
            & = & {omegamid0<t<f(omega)}\
            & = & f^{-1}left((t,infty]right).
            end{eqnarray*}

            Moreover, $f^{-1}left((0,infty]right)=bigcup_{n=1}^{infty}f^{-1}left((frac{1}{n},infty]right)inmathcal{F}$.
            Finally, if $t<0$, we have $f^{-1}left((t,infty]right)=Omegainmathcal{B}$
            because $f$ is non-negative.

              Let $mathcal{F}=mathcal{F}_{1}otimesmathcal{F}_{2}$ be the product
              $sigma$-algebra. It is fundamental that $mathcal{F}$ is the smallest
              $sigma$-algebra on $X$ such that for each $i$, $pi_{i}$ is $mathcal{F}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable.
              Moreover, if $(Y,mathcal{G})$ is a measurable space and $f:Yrightarrow X$
              is a map. Then $f$ is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}$-measureble iff for

              Now let $a_{1}in X_{1}$ and $a_{2}in X_{2}$. Define $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$
              and $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ by $iota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=(x_{1},a_{2})$
              and $iota_{a_{1}}(x_{2})=(a_{1},x_{2})$. We can verify that $iota_{a_{1}}$
              is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable and $iota_{a_{2}}$
              is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable. For example, note that
              $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=x_{1}$, i.e., $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}=id_{X_{1}}$,
              the identity map on $X_{1}$, which is clearly $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{1}$-measurable.

              map $x_{1}mapsto a_{2}$, which is also $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{2}$-measurable.
              By the universial property of product $sigma$-algebra, it follows
              that $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.
              Similarly, $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.



              If $Ainmathcal{F},$ then $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{2}$
              and $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{1}$. However, by writing
              out $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)$, we have $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)={x_{2}mid(a_{1},x_2)in A}$.
              Similarly, $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)={x_{1}mid(x_{1},a_{2})in A}$.



              We are now ready to prove the converse $Leftarrow:$ Suppose that
              $Ainmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$. Let $t>0$ be arbitrary. Define
              $iota_{t}:OmegarightarrowOmegatimesmathbb{R}$ by $iota_{t}(omega)=(omega,t)$.
              By the above discussion, $iota_{t}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}$. But

              & = & f^{-1}left((t,infty]right).
              end{eqnarray*}

              Moreover, $f^{-1}left((0,infty]right)=bigcup_{n=1}^{infty}f^{-1}left((frac{1}{n},infty]right)inmathcal{F}$.
              Finally, if $t<0$, we have $f^{-1}left((t,infty]right)=Omegainmathcal{B}$
              because $f$ is non-negative.

                Let $mathcal{F}=mathcal{F}_{1}otimesmathcal{F}_{2}$ be the product
                $sigma$-algebra. It is fundamental that $mathcal{F}$ is the smallest
                $sigma$-algebra on $X$ such that for each $i$, $pi_{i}$ is $mathcal{F}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable.
                Moreover, if $(Y,mathcal{G})$ is a measurable space and $f:Yrightarrow X$
                is a map. Then $f$ is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}$-measureble iff for
                each $i$, the composited map $pi_{i}circ f:Yrightarrow X_{i}$
                is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable. This is known as the
                universal property of product $sigma$-algebra.



                Now let $a_{1}in X_{1}$ and $a_{2}in X_{2}$. Define $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$
                and $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ by $iota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=(x_{1},a_{2})$
                and $iota_{a_{1}}(x_{2})=(a_{1},x_{2})$. We can verify that $iota_{a_{1}}$
                is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable and $iota_{a_{2}}$
                is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable. For example, note that
                $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=x_{1}$, i.e., $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}=id_{X_{1}}$,
                the identity map on $X_{1}$, which is clearly $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{1}$-measurable.
                $pi_{2}circiota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X_{2}$ is the constant
                map $x_{1}mapsto a_{2}$, which is also $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{2}$-measurable.
                By the universial property of product $sigma$-algebra, it follows
                that $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.
                Similarly, $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.



                If $Ainmathcal{F},$ then $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{2}$
                and $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{1}$. However, by writing
                out $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)$, we have $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)={x_{2}mid(a_{1},x_2)in A}$.
                Similarly, $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)={x_{1}mid(x_{1},a_{2})in A}$.



                We are now ready to prove the converse $Leftarrow:$ Suppose that
                $Ainmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$. Let $t>0$ be arbitrary. Define
                $iota_{t}:OmegarightarrowOmegatimesmathbb{R}$ by $iota_{t}(omega)=(omega,t)$.
                By the above discussion, $iota_{t}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}$. But
                begin{eqnarray*}
                iota_{t}^{-1}(A) & = & {omegamid(omega,t)in A}\
                & = & {omegamid0<t<f(omega)}\
                & = & f^{-1}left((t,infty]right).
                end{eqnarray*}

                Moreover, $f^{-1}left((0,infty]right)=bigcup_{n=1}^{infty}f^{-1}left((frac{1}{n},infty]right)inmathcal{F}$.
                Finally, if $t<0$, we have $f^{-1}left((t,infty]right)=Omegainmathcal{B}$
                because $f$ is non-negative.

                For the converse and Murphy's proof, let me elaborate it a little
                bit, especially about the measurability of sections.



                Let $(X_{1},mathcal{F}_{1})$ and $(X_{2},mathcal{F}_{2})$ be measurable
                spaces. Let $X=X_{1}times X_{2}$. For $i=1,2$, let $pi_{i}:Xrightarrow X_{i}$
                be the canonical projection map defined by $pi_{i}(x_{1},x_{2})=x_{i}.$
                Let $mathcal{F}=mathcal{F}_{1}otimesmathcal{F}_{2}$ be the product
                $sigma$-algebra. It is fundamental that $mathcal{F}$ is the smallest
                $sigma$-algebra on $X$ such that for each $i$, $pi_{i}$ is $mathcal{F}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable.
                Moreover, if $(Y,mathcal{G})$ is a measurable space and $f:Yrightarrow X$
                is a map. Then $f$ is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}$-measureble iff for
                each $i$, the composited map $pi_{i}circ f:Yrightarrow X_{i}$
                is $mathcal{G}/mathcal{F}_{i}$-measurable. This is known as the
                universal property of product $sigma$-algebra.



                Now let $a_{1}in X_{1}$ and $a_{2}in X_{2}$. Define $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$
                and $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ by $iota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=(x_{1},a_{2})$
                and $iota_{a_{1}}(x_{2})=(a_{1},x_{2})$. We can verify that $iota_{a_{1}}$
                is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable and $iota_{a_{2}}$
                is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable. For example, note that
                $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}(x_{1})=x_{1}$, i.e., $pi_{1}circiota_{a_{2}}=id_{X_{1}}$,
                the identity map on $X_{1}$, which is clearly $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{1}$-measurable.
                $pi_{2}circiota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X_{2}$ is the constant
                map $x_{1}mapsto a_{2}$, which is also $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}_{2}$-measurable.
                By the universial property of product $sigma$-algebra, it follows
                that $iota_{a_{2}}:X_{1}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{1}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.
                Similarly, $iota_{a_{1}}:X_{2}rightarrow X$ is $mathcal{F}_{2}/mathcal{F}$-measurable.



                If $Ainmathcal{F},$ then $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{2}$
                and $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}_{1}$. However, by writing
                out $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)$, we have $iota_{a_{1}}^{-1}(A)={x_{2}mid(a_{1},x_2)in A}$.
                Similarly, $iota_{a_{2}}^{-1}(A)={x_{1}mid(x_{1},a_{2})in A}$.



                We are now ready to prove the converse $Leftarrow:$ Suppose that
                $Ainmathcal{F}otimesmathcal{B}$. Let $t>0$ be arbitrary. Define
                $iota_{t}:OmegarightarrowOmegatimesmathbb{R}$ by $iota_{t}(omega)=(omega,t)$.
                By the above discussion, $iota_{t}^{-1}(A)inmathcal{F}$. But
                begin{eqnarray*}
                iota_{t}^{-1}(A) & = & {omegamid(omega,t)in A}\
                & = & {omegamid0<t<f(omega)}\
                & = & f^{-1}left((t,infty]right).
                end{eqnarray*}

                Moreover, $f^{-1}left((0,infty]right)=bigcup_{n=1}^{infty}f^{-1}left((frac{1}{n},infty]right)inmathcal{F}$.
                Finally, if $t<0$, we have $f^{-1}left((t,infty]right)=Omegainmathcal{B}$
                because $f$ is non-negative.
