It's kind of like a way of experiencing time.
Ex. My birthday is a month away
Right now is "here"
"away" is a month in the future
Ex. Christmas is here!
Christmas is now.
Ex. The next chess club meeting is a whole three months away.
For the past, it's ago.
Ex. The last chess club meeting was a whole three months ago.
Hope this helps

I understand your confusion because someone from latin america or Spain would not think to speak this way. I believe you would go a different direction like” solo queda un mes para mi cumpleaños” or “falta una semana para mi cumpleaños” but in your question away is used in place of “from now”
