I don't see why not. From Splunk's perspective it's just a remote storage regardless of where the indexers are. As long as you have network connectivity you should be fine.

I suppose it might cost you more if you have inter-region traffic instead if intra-region one but I'm not that good on AWS pricing to say somethig definite here. And it's an issue completely outside of Splunk.
