I would say not. Pretty sure the notice you got is about:

https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/

Version Current minor Supported First Release Final Release
9.3 9.3.25 No September 9, 2013 November 8, 2018

In other words about Postgres 9.3 being past EOL as of past November.

What the OP was referring to was Amazon's version of Linux:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/amazon-linux-ami-basics.html

which is based off RH. The community RH repos no longer support that distro.
