The GNU version of find offers the -xdev flag which should do exactly that.

Hmmm, I don't understand what you mean. If autofs isn't supposed to
mount certain hosts, why do you include these hosts in /etc/auto.master
or /etc/auto.misc in first place?

-xdev will prevent crossing any filesystem. So if you have 2 local
partitions (disks) mounted it won't get to the 2nd. Use -prune
with -fstype or the path to restrict.

find / -path /net -prune -o -print

find / -fstype nfs -prune -o -print
