I can't speak on the Mac setup.
But in TUG's TeXLive there is
texmf/tex/amstex
with things for plain TeX and
texmf/tex/latex/amsmath
with things for LaTeX.
"amstex" is generally no longer the name of a program.
That old program is emulated by running "tex" on a TeX
file that includes
\input amstex.tex
near the beginning.
"amslatex" is enabled in LaTeX
with something like
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
