Is Australasia a continent?

Australia is both a continent and a country. Geographically, it is too big to qualify as "island". It is sometimes referred to as an island continent because it is one of only two continents in the world completely surrounded by water.

Australia is part of the "geographic region" of Oceania, which, by definition, is not actually a continent.

Australia is the smallest of the seven continents.
You mean Australia? In that case, yes, it is a continent. It is made up of Australia, obviously, and other countries like New Zealand and Vanuatu.

How many islands make up Oceania?

There is no definite answer to this type of question, for how big and how permanent does the land mass need to be to be counted? The answer for the number will be in the tens of thousands, certainly more than 10 000 and almost certainly less than

100 000. Some islands will be destroyed by wave action etc, and others will be created by the movement of sediments by ocean currents. And volcanic activity will create new islands, maybe long lived, maybe temporary.

Is Guam apart of the US?

No, Guam is an organized unincorporated territory of the US. This means the US Congress has no intention of allowing it to become a state. The people have limited self government, meaning they can elect a governor and local legislators for a unicameral legislature, but cannot vote for US president and only have a non-voting delegate to the US House of Representative.

We are also confined by the Jones Act, which limits only US-flagged ships to enter the island's ports and do business, in the strictest interpretation. The only "constitution" the people have is one that was drawn up by the US Naval Administration in 1950 known as the Organic Act.

Why does the US have Guam?

Because they won it as a spoils of war in 1898. as part of the Treaty of Paris the US got Guam, Philippines and Puerto Rico and paid then-$20 million for the new possessions.
