Yes, the train stopping (most likely terminating) at Jamaica is rather convenient for getting to JFK. Unfortunately, every time I need to do this (from Sayville/Fire Island, not the Hamptons), the schedule is just a little too inconvenient. Either too close of a connection for comfort, or too long of a connection that it's a time waster, so I usually end up taking a car service. :-/ But I've spent plenty of time on the Montauk line trains over the years to/from Manhattan...

Even going from Jamaica to Suffolk/Nassau on the LIRR, I’ve always managed to get a space for myself and big bags — and that tends to be worse than going west.
