Not exactly. For them there was no difference between the lands they left behind (modern Asia) and the lands they moved into, since they were all one continuous land mass.
Imagine yourself 20,000 years ago living in a hunting band in the area that is now Panama. Your hunting band moves south-east to follow the animals you are hunting; you keep following those animals, making new camps and finding fresh water sources as you go. Eventually you will be in South America - but nothing is any different to the place you started from, so it would not seem like you have discovered new land. There's just a lot of it - and no humans are there already.
That's exactly how it was for those Neolithic hunters following game animals into the Americas.
