With the data tiering feature, data moves from EBS -> S3. The database is fully aware of all the metadata and the location of any data that it manages. So a user can query any data that lives on storage managed by the Timescale database. S3 is just another storage device for the db.
Athena is not a database. Athena is query service for data lakes in S3 (e.g. load into S3 is not managed by Athena, it is not protected by any DB transactional semantics). Athena needs metadata info for the data in S3. (Timescale engineer)
