No había oído lo de "guaso"...

Moliner da muchos sinónimos:

Cateto, churro, cuico, forano, guanaco, isidro, lugareño, meleno, pajuerano, palurdo, páparo, patán, payo, provinciano, pueblerino.

Another term I have heard is corroncho.

Although hillbilly can be used to mean paleto, better terms in English are hick, rube, yuck yuck, green (if they are from foreign countries). The word green in this form is not derogatory but the other terms should be used with caution.
