You can use S3 as an origin server for CloudFront but it's not serving files directly from S3. CloudFront has "edge locations" that you can push files to from S3 -- which "stores the original, definitive versions of your files."[1]

Thanks. Still picking this up myself.

It's important to note that Cloudfront also supports custom origins, so it doesn't even have to involve s3 these days.
