Yes, the Pacific Plate does not include a continent; it is primarily an oceanic tectonic plate. It covers a vast area of the Pacific Ocean, bordered by various continental plates, including the North American Plate to the north and the Australian Plate to the southwest. While it interacts with continental regions, such as along the coasts of North America and Asia, the plate itself is predominantly underwater.
