I think these boxes are commonly used as a sort of firewall/cache for web servers. They are designed primarily to improve performance of a website and provide some resilience to (d)DOS and other attacks. They
could be proxying it to a server in the US but there is no evidence that they are. If they are then most of the security benefit would be lost as the real server would be exposed to the internet.
