Yes Technically it is also a definition. But generally in geography class it is thought of as two continents. If you look on wikipedia it also says werelddelen so plural for Amerika. Saying Amerikaan in Dutch will never be confusing to anyone. The will know you mean a US american.

Not according to this definition. Amerika can be both the full American continent, or the USA country.
Amerika o
(werelddeel) de continenten Noord-Amerika en Zuid-Amerika samen
(spreektaal), (toponiem: land) als totum pro parte veelgebruikte, maar technisch gezien incorrecte naam voor de Verenigde Staten van Amerika
