It's entirely possible that there would have been genocides in sub-Saharan Africa, but Nazi Germany had little interest in the region (and even less in South America), as they intended to colonize Eastern Europe. As for North Africa, they were generally ambivalent on Arabs and Turks, and considered some Berber tribes full Aryans. These areas might have become distant German satellites, but not targets for extermination campaigns (except the Holocaust, as there were millions of Jews in the Muslim world at the time).
Generalplan-Ost is absolutely real though, and already killed around 10 million Slavs (not counting military deaths) in our timeline through the Hunger Plan, as part of the Holocaust, or through direct extermination. It would have been +30 millions at the very lowest had it been fully implemented.
Personally, I'd attribute the 40 million deaths in Europe to Nazism. My logic is this : if the man-made famines of the USSR and China are to be blamed on communist policies, and they should be, then war deaths of WW2 should absolutely be blamed on Nazi aggression. If they had won the war, I'd estimate the death toll would have been 2-2.5x higher.
Most of the native american tribes were wipeout after the colonial era when the colonies went independent.
It was very high, though we'll never know the full casualty numbers. Most of these deaths are attributable to disease, which does not excuse the genocides but do make it impossible to know which nations were decimated before their existence was even thoroughly documented.
The Nazis' own plans for Eastern Europe were actually inspired by America's westward expansion. Lebensraum means "living space" in the literal sense, but I'd say a better cultural equivalent would be "Manifest Destiny".
