True, but without Anycast you wont' be able to control which server users query, and your latency for EU or APAC users will probably be in the range of 200-800ms. Route 53 uses Anycast network infrastructure with many geographically dispersed POPs so users will hit the closest POP dramatically reducing latency. For $200/mo you could host a hundred domains and billions of queries with much better performance using Route 53.
