That is not correct.
It is perfectly normal in German to say 'in Amerika' or in French 'en
Amerique'. That usually means the complete continent, unless there is
already a context which, for example, narrows it to a specific part,
like the US.
If one wants to know more, one has to ask back 'in north, south or
middle America?' or 'Where in America'.
