I'd say AMS-IX is mostly for peering with a lot of people, if that answers your question.
Also relevant: the ams-ix is a service, not a colocation facility. They basically run a ridiculously high traffic ethernet platform that is distributed over four locations in Amsterdam. Most of the peering is done on the public ethernet (v)lan, though you can get extra ports or a q-tagged port and private vlans if you want. Mike.
