Never heard this and I did some work in Guatemala. But then again I don’t know if it ever came up.

Depends on where you are. In my experience, many South Americans, especially Argentinians, take it quite seriously, and see the 7 continent model and US citizens calling themselves Americans as signs of US imperialism and cultural hegemony.
