No, Latin America primarily refers to regions in the Americas where Romance languages, such as Spanish and Portuguese, are spoken due to colonial influence. While Portuguese colonialism significantly impacted Brazil, the term "Latin America" encompasses Spanish-speaking countries as well. Thus, while Portuguese colonial history is a part of Latin America, the term itself is broader and includes multiple countries with diverse colonial backgrounds.
Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay were colonized by the Spanish. Uruguay was also colonized by the Portuguese (which then followed Brazilian rule), and this is who the country gained independence from.

For settlement of the subsequent Latin America was regulated by the Treaty of Tordesillas, in 1497. By that treaty, Portugal was only eligible to claim Brazil. For the line of division ran in such a way as to give almost everything else to Spain.
Democracy failed in Latin America after Spanish and Portuguese Colonies gained their independence because at the time, Spain and Portugal were ruled by a monarchy. King Ferdinand of Spain controlled both countries and their territories.
In the same way that there are different countries in Europe speaking German, or French, or English. South America was colonized by the Portuguese and by the Spaniards. But they had different peoples and cultures, which gave rise to different countries.
