Yes, that's precisely what is meant. it's a lot more succinct to say "african american race" than it is to say "group of black people who live in and/or have ancestors who lived in the US." If the meaning has been conveyed, then the word has fulfilled its purpose - regardless of whether or not you think it's idiotic.
Okay how are black people in the US genetically different than black people from other places?
