Yep; and that's why I never nitpick anybody for using it that way. Context helps.
If we can say the United States, and the United States contains Americans (although not exclusively) then we can still have the United States of Americans as apposed to the Mexican state of Americans.

Although; I usually think it's the confused state of Americans.
