I believe so. In my current game as Japan, Khmer is my vassal, and after I conquered 2 Mongolian cities (currently own all of china), their empire collapsed, and the Khmer took 4 independent cities from the Silk Road to Siberia (yet they never captured Burma...). Apparently giving them iron was a great move.
The AI manages conquering African natives quite well, but I think proximity plays an unnecessarily large decision in their colony-founding: The western Sahara often has 2-3 European cities while the entire coast from Zanzibar to South Africa is Euro-free; the latter is far more useful than the former could ever be.
I've seen Spain colonize SA to a mild extent- Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Caracas are common sights, but conquerors are still a pretty rare thing for them.
