S3 as object storage doesn't have a hierarchical structure compared with most file system and it won't support all the operations expected in a POSIX file system (eg, no write append, renaming is implemented as copy-then-delete, ...).
S3 works closer to a key/value store than to a file system.
To be honest my comment was based on OpenStack Object Storage and I can't say if S3 works exactly like that, but being OpenStack kind of a clone I suspect it does.
