I think Amon's story of having his face burned is not a lie. My theory is that at some point in time, Amon came in contact with Koh. Had Amon's face been intact, he would have surely reacted to Koh (Aang had a nice little heads-up from Roku regarding showing of emotion); Because Amon's face was so scarred as to not display emotion, he was thus unable to give anything to Koh. As Koh is an evil spirit who is opposed to the Avatar (And balance), it would be in his interest to eliminate bending; and Amon is simply doing his bidding.

Koh imparted the knowledge of energybending to Amon; something he would willingly use indiscriminately.

Amon mobilizes the Equalist movement to eliminate bending from the world, thereby pleasing Koh.

This is my theory as to how Amon knows energy bending.
