Do all people who were born in North America or South America automatically have American birth certificates?

Not even all people residing within the United States have a regular "brith certificate"--as was mentioned above, they are not issued by the federal government.
To get a little more in depth into the issue:
If someone was born a citizen and born within the US, they will likely have a birth certificate issued by their city, county, or state. However, if a person was born to American citizens who were living outside of the US at the time, that person would instead have a Consular Report of Birth Aboard. Likewise, If a person now living in the United States was not a citizen at birth but became one later in life, they would instead have a Naturalization Certificate/Certificate of Citizenship.

Birth certificates are issued by the state, county are province where you are born. I have no idea about South American Counties and the laws/precedences of birth and citizenship

No. And, in the USA, they don't even have an "American" birth certificate, but rather one issued from the State or Commonwealth of their birth, issued by the county or parish where they were born.

No. North America and South America are continents, not countries or states.

No, each country is different. United States of America has one standard, Canada, Peru, Brazil etc, all have different standards, and dont really consider themselves to be Americans.
