I can't find a mention of such a requirement in either the Privacy or Security rule. So I'm going to say No, not as a HIPAA requirement.

When corrections are being made to medical records should they be date and time stamped?
Proper procedure indicates that yes -- it usually should be. Corrections in insignificant things such as spelling are of course less critical, but anything emergent to timely needs to show when the noted changed was detected. Likewise, I suggest that the change is initialed. Note also that corrections never ever eradicate what was erroneously there before. The old entry is single-line struck out and the correction added. The exception to this is corrections asked for by the patient and made by the doctor, under the HIPAA guidelines.
Why does the AMA state that all corrections on patients records need to be dated and stamped?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Stamped", but the AMA and in fact medicine everywhere requires all changes on patient charts be noted, dated, initialed. The exception would be Corrections as described under HIPAA, which would result in the record being modified. In fact, it's standard medical policy that, except for as mentioned above, or under court order, no data is ever removed or redacted, but is instead struck through in a way that would retain legibility.
