I think it's a little better than that, actually.
It says that their ideal-case failure rate is 11 nines; that's how much you should lose to known, lasting issues like machines failing and cutting over.
Amazon's actual SLA offers 2 nines and 3 nines as the credit thresholds. So they're stating the reliability of their known system, and the rest is for events like this.
