Hi Christopher, The docs may say that but in practice that's not what seems to happen. :)
When you play a track from iCloud that track is still there and you still have the option to download it to your device. The track is not actually on your device. So it does stream to your device. If you wish to download the track there is a button to the right of the track which allows you to do this. When you do this, the button goes away and you need to delete the track from your device in order to bring it back. Hope this helps and thanks for posting that!

On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.
