As shown by Holevo, Shirokov, and WernerYour "countable separability" is called "countable decomposability" in (https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0504204)[1]. As shown there, there exist separable but not countably decomposable states (in fact such states are dense as they conjectureit is conjectured in [1]). Since every separable state on the tensor product of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces is finitely decomposable, your condition 1 does not imply 2.

See the MO post Is the set of separable quantum states closed? for some relevant discussion (and my goof).
