Couldn't they do this by using Atlas and choosing AWS as the host?

Atlas runs tne hosts inside mongodbs AWS account, we have the same restriant, becuase of client privacy isses and gdpr compliance we can let a 3rd party host the data, amazon is ok beacuse we control tbe data on tbe instances.
Client privacy issues should not preclude the use of MongoDB Atlas... Atlas offers encryption of data at rest as well as the ability to manage your own keys.
The article says the work began in July 2017. Was it available at that time?
