No. You would also have to pay for memory usage and bandwidth.
Millions of requests for a static file is easily done on a dedicated server in a few seconds if the file is small. $0.2 per request is very expensive.
To put things in to perspective: If you buy a very cheap new server for $1K, then you would be able to handle small static requests worth thousands for dollars each day according to AWS pricing. That's a nice return on investment!
