Interesting, For me the song does not get downloaded unless I tap the download button next to it.
Just tried it before I posted last night to make sure. :) Thanks!

For example, Go to settings/general/usage, and make sure you have no music on your device. If there is, hit the edit button in the music section of usage, and delete all music. Now, play 3 songs via iTunes match. Finally, go to settings/general/about, and you will see that there are now 3 songs on your device. I think it just streams while songs you play are being downloaded.
