Amitabha was mentioned a few times in other Touhou stuff. Plus Touhou follows closely mythologies like Buddhism, so having one of its many entities existing isn't a huge stretch when others are confirmed to exist as well.
Also, given how Touhou work, if the in-universe consensus is that Amitabha is a thing and is 3-A sized, then he DOES exist and he IS 3-A sized, given that gods and the likes are shaped by belief.
I wouldn't consider that equivalent to a single statement that could easily be metaphorical or otherwise about an entity that doesn't necessarily fit neatly into the verse.
...Is there even a verse? It looks just like lyrics to a song. And yeah I know we have music-based verses, but this doesn't seem like it's anything similar.

I mean it's not like he's a commonly referred to character, but there is a little more ground to his existence than just a single statement. He's indirectly referred to a couple of times and mentioned by name outside of the feat quote.
And like I said, his existence is actually supported by the verse closely following most mythologies it borrows from, so he was kinda implied to exist already just by the fact that the Buddhist pantheon exists in the verse.
