Perhaps -- you will be able to run Oracle on RDS and pay for it by the hour. I think that's a pretty big deal.

But you will have to pay for the license fee no ?

No. The hourly cost (which is still TBD) gives you access to a licensed copy of Oracle. You will be able to acquire an hour of database use if that's all you need.
