Uhm. Nope.

Amazon doesn't care about your filesystem. AMIs are just dumps of block devices - Amazon simply unpacks them onto a suitable disk. You're free to use any filesystem you want (there might be problems with the bootloader, but they are not insurmountable).

You certainly can access the underlying disk device.
