I'm not sure what the point would be - OwnCloud already knows how to work with S3 directly.

Just as an example app.

Basically, use S3 the same way you use an in house SAN.

Also, if I remember correctly, S3 integration is per account, and only if you enable the external file storage app. It wouldn't let you store all data on S3. So, mounting a bucket as the OwnCloud data folder would be the way I'd get that.
