Just my thoughts. I doubt if a Samba would suit the American Smooth Style. Its action would always be as an International Style Samba under a different name.

Probably because video production is expensive and it's not a full member of the rhythm dances, but rather something borrowed as an optional add-on for social fun or to increase the profitability of pro/am comps.

I don't thing that there is such a dance "American Samba". Samba is one of the five dances in the Latin American competition such as rumba, cha cha, jive, paso doble and samba. Those dances used to be called International style. In the american rythm competition, we have rumba, cha cha, bolero, east coast swing and mambo. They used to be called the American style.
