Ultimately this is a question of semantics and depends on precisely how you define "finger". If you want a technical term that definitely includes the thumb, use "digit" or even better "phalanges." I'm not aware of a simple word that definitely excludes the thumb.
(Historically, "finger" has been inclusive of the thumb; it comes ultimately from a root word meaning "five" which only makes sense if the thumb is included.)
