That IP address is a non-routable AWS internal address for internal DNS 
services. It is not the public IP address

There is some convention that address 2 in non routable address ranges 
allocatted to customers is also a DNS server address. So 10.0.0.2 is a 
DNS server.

The actual public source addresses used by AWS DNS servers are not well 
defined and may vary by region

I completely removed system-resolved as when it is installed it changes 
the DNS configuration to be non-standard

I am not sure what you mean by resolve service. The current user manual 
manual for  nsswitch has

hosts:          dns [!UNAVAIL=return] files

which seems to be some new spin. It has always been the practice to use 
files and then dns if nothing found

hosts: files dns

in neither case is systemd-resolved required. The resolution uses the 
contents of /etc/resolv.conf to choose a resolver.

I was in error stating that. You need to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf 
to contain a line

nameserver 127.0.0.1

and configure bind9 to listen to that

options {
     listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
     // other options like directory, allow-query, etc.
     recursion yes;
     // Additional configuration to ensure it acts as a caching server
};
