In addition, the Amazon Linux AMI has been built to be binary-compatible with the CentOS series of releases, and therefore packages built to run on CentOS should also run on the Amazon Linux AMI." Taken from http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AmazonLinuxAMIBasics.html So, in other words, you should be able to install the RPMs from CentOS for openoffice. Despite the claim of binary compatability, I'd still make sure that Amazon Linux has its own X client package, though. Most headless systems use the (virtual) graphics card to do high-speed rendering, even though they don't actually route the output directly to a terminal screen. Attempting to pull a CentOS X client might not work.
