By using Taufeer.com e-channel service, amazon.com will be able to present its products and offers to millions of Ready-to-buy customers in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.

Yes, I agree. Tying up their name with an online giant like Amazon should help them a lot with the issue of trust.
As for Amazon, I guess it gives them a way to test the waters in the region, see how things go, to later give them enough data to decide whether they should go on and launch a full version for the region or not.
So basically, it looks like a win-win situation.
