I don't think that's the way iTunes Match works. It just scans your
local music collection and generates a list of all the tracks you have
there. It then will allow any of your other devices, such as your phone,
to sync the same set of music but the source will all be Apple's
original 256kbps AAC files. If your library gets corrupted or you have
junky mp3s of some tracks iTunes Match can make those issues go away.
So, yes, you'll still sync and download all your tracks to your device.
It's not a streaming music locker service. Found an article describing
what iTunes match does here:

Good Evening!
A couple of months back, I subscribed to iTunes Match. I currently have 4,012
songs there. Previously I had stored all of my music in my iTunes Library on
my iMac, and all songs were also stored on my iPod Touch 4th Gen 64 gig. Once
I had all of my music in iTunes Match I thought the space taken up on my iPod
would be freed up. I discovered however, that I actually still have 3,427
songs physically stored on my iPod. How can I get them off my iPod so that I
can just stream them using iTunes Match? I tried turning iTunes Match off on
my iPod and then turning it back on a little while later. I was asked if I
wanted the library replaced to which I answered yes. When that was done, I
went back and checked under Settings/General/About, and discovered that it
still says I have 3,427 songs, using 29 plus gigs. Any help with this would be
much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
