If it were real, I have an idle musing as to what it could mean. What if, like Zuko and the Blue Spirit, Aang wanted to hide his identity for a certain mission, and didn't use bending while he was carrying it out (or used nominal, non-noticable, airbending)

Stories spread about this masked man, and Amon, whoever he is, wanted to latch onto and harness that figure's fame, so he fashioned a mask to match.

The irony of the situation being, he didn't know it was the Avatar whose image he used, the very person he is fighting (in his next life.)
