No. Hispanic and Latino mean "having cultural roots in Iberia."
Yes we knew all about Portuguese Goa and many other places. Hispanics are those who speak spanish as a native language, and are from latin south and Central America. Latino is only used when a person is from Latin America. Lusitanic, or Lusophones are people who speak Portuguese or have portuguese descent. Brazilians are NOT hispanic!
