Can I Access Standby RDS DB Instances?

No. You can directly access primary DB instances and read replicas. Standby DB instances are not visible to users and therefore you cannot access them directly.

RDS supports primary/standby failover and switchover. Data is synchronized between the primary and standby instances in real time.
