Yeah, they're almost certainly using CloudFront.

46.137.0.0/17 which that address falls under is not part of the allocations for CloudFront infrastructure, but for EC2. I suspect their "CDN" is just EC2 instance(s), probably fronted by a load balancer.

no, cloudfront servers have rDNS records like
