So I've been reading about the "edge" in NextJS and my understanding is that it's CDN but for cloud functions rather than static content.
My question is, is that only available on Vercel's hosting platform ? What if I'm using AWS ?

I don't know about AWS but the Edge hosted functions on Vercel are running on Cloudflare and as such you could manually deploy there for Edge as well.

However I don't know the details since I just use Vercel for the purpose of not bothering with infra myself.
