He's probably not renting if from "AWS" but instead from "AWS Ireland" or some subsidiary like that. If the VM is located in us-west-1, AWS Ireland probably then rents the VM from AWS USA for a price designed to minimize profit in the high tax (USA) jurisdiction and maximize it in the low tax jurisdiction (Ireland). This is called transfer pricing.
