MySQL: Does Amazon's RDS Multi-AZ feature use binary logs?
The Multi-AZ feature does not use MySQL's native replication features. Quoting their documentation, "Multi-AZ deployments for Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL DB instances use Amazon technology, while SQL Server DB instances use SQL Server Mirroring." It seems likely that they're doing replication at the storage level and not depending on binary logs. However, disabling binary logs (if RDS will even let you do that) would probably break point-in-time recovery.

Multi-AZ should not be confused with Read Replicas. As @GeekRide's answer shows, Read Replicas do use MySQL's native replication via binlogs.
