I would interpret "It's finished" as "It is finished", but agree that it could also be "It has finished.".
I've never noticed anyone contract it + was. The word 'was' might be somewhat unclearly pronounced sometimes, but the 'w' and 's' sounds are still there.

It's completed four months ago.

Let me qualify the "was" part, at least that was what I had come across in some contexts. I believed "it's finished" could be interpreted as "it was finished" at least in wirtten form.

Son: it's finish
