From my initial testing, this looks like an annoying "no". There doesn't appear to be any way to set the VPC or security group in which the build executes, only an IAM role.

I am curious to know what kind of actions would they be other than notifying via chat/email?

For one, hitting the Github API to put failed build markers against commits and PRs. CodeBuild doesn't appear to have the same Github integration that most other CIs do out of the box.
