Nomenclature can be tricky here. Real world naming conventions are styled regularly (e.g.: Australia–New Zealand), in-game names are quoted (“Oceania”), internal names are styled as code (australia_new_zealand). Keep in mind that not everybody the world over uses the same conventions, e.g. Oceania can mean different things depending where you’re from.
Africa
HFM split up Africa into a couple continents, with some perplexing results
[ ] a couple Angolan regions are uniquely part of West Africa, which should be some sort of copy/paste error or similar
[ ] Namibia is the only bit of Southwest Africa, which receives ×10 RGO size for unclear reasons (related to the above?)
[ ] rump africa is not just North Africa, it covers a couple other other places including South Africa
Oceania
HPM distinguishes Australia–New Zealand (“Oceania”, australia_new_zealand) separately from roughly the Pacific Islands and Papua/New Guina (“Polynesia”, polynesia), which together are sometimes referred to as Oceania. This is for the purposes of New World rules, which govern Australia–New Zealand and the Americas (likewise regarding assimilation):
This means that there is the option to merge both into a proper Oceania, so long as appropriate New World terrain is used in the Pacific to manage the ×10 RGO size modifier. Care must also be taken that appropriate native cores are present everywhere to avoid native assimilation—non-native immigrants would benefit from upscaled New World assimilation, but this is overall not a serious concern.

This is not as necessary in HFM, which uses a culture-based rule tweak instead for the region:
