Ah well, you're kind of right because the way I was taught it (UK) it is about land mass but Africa, despite its tenuous connection to Asia is counted as a separate one. Hence you get five olympic rings; one for each continent; because we have no sensitivities about which bits of the Americas are which.
1. Eurasia
2. Africa
3. Australasia
4. The Americas
5. Antarctica.
