Is there any Google API which would return all the countries in the world with the country code?

The AJAX API has the list you require? code.google.com/apis/language/translate/v2/…– Mapperz ♦Commented Jan 30, 2012 at 15:06

The Google Maps API family does not have anything like this. There might be other API's that do, but since ISO 3166-1 is fairly static you are probably better off embedding the data rather than retrieving it from an API every time you need it.
You could use Wikipedia's article on ISO 3166-1 as a source for the list of countries and codes.
How about KML Countries at GeoCommons. It has entries such as:
- Cntryname: Australia, Fipscntry: AS
- Cntryname: Egypt, Fipscntry: EG
- Cntryname: France, Fipscntry: FR
- Cntryname: United States, Fipscntry: US
