No, your are correct and that is for a machine where a lot of CPU cycles will be stolen from you. When you run the 'top' command, look at the 'st' statistic. That shows the percentage of CPU your instance did not receive. Not a big deal as this is how VM's operate. I had a CPU intensive task though and had to go up to a big instance. I create a 'spot request' so that I can get the big machine for $0.12 per hour.
If you need 100% on, then you would be better off getting a VPS from another provider. Be sure to compare similar offerings though. Read the fine print because some companies offers sound good, but then the bandwidth is low, or disk space is low, or some other gotcha.
