Instance system status check failure

Am I right in assuming that a system status check fail is caused by an issue with the underlying host that is provided by AWS?

Yes. The docs contain the details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/monitoring-system-instance-status-check.html#types-of-instance-status-checks

There was also an instance status check failure but I;m assuming this was caused by the system failure.

In the scenario you describe, that's very likely.

Basically, was this outage my fault or AWS's?

Based on your description, it was something beyond your control.
