No Oceania is an area, similar to "the Americas" which in includes both North and South America.

There are 7 continents

N.America

S.America

Europe

Asia

Africa

Australia

Antarctica

Oceania is a region centered on the islands of the tropical Pacific Ocean. Definitions of what constitutes Oceania range from the coral atolls and volcanic islands of the South Pacific to the entire insular region between Asia and the Americas, including Australasia and the Malay Archipelago.

The term is sometimes used more specifically to denote a continent comprising Australia and proximate islands.

The 7 continents listed above are almost universally recognized as "the continents." In some contexts it makes sense to group the landmasses differently, so other definitions, while unusual, can be made but since they are out of the norm, any different way of classification than the 7-continent group above would have to be accompanied by an explanation of how the term "continent" was being used.
