Does Amazon build those 1st-Party product themselves? I don't think so but how does it work then? Do they buy the products, change em a little bit and sell them?

Yeah thanks for the question. So first party products would be brand manufacturers that sell directly to Amazon instead of through Amazon.

In these transactions, Amazon takes on the inventory as the merchant of record. The value add for the first party manufacturers is that they don’t have to deal with marketing, product listings, etc.

Would be great to update the numbers to the latest (2020), thanks.
