I've heard (though I can't say authoritatively), that while "american" is obviously used for people from the USA, "americano" applies to all residents of the New World in Spanish in most countries that speak it. Wikipedia seems to agree:

In Spanish, americano denotes geographic and cultural origin in the New World, as well as (infrequently) a U.S. citizen;[13][14][c] the more common term is estadounidense ("United States person"), which derives from Estados Unidos de América
