No. Whilst it is true that most species of marsupial are endemic to Australia, it is not the only continent where they are found.

Some species of marsupials are found in New Guinea, some islands of Indonesia, and many more are found in Central and South America. There is also one species of marsupial, the Opossum, in North America. Brushtail Possums and wallabies have also been introduced to New Zealand, but they are not native to the islands.
