To expand on this:

Once a song from the iTunes library on your computer has been matched by
iTunes Match, the song is available to you in the cloud. If you have
that song copied to any other computers or devices, you can delete the
song from those devices to save space, but can still play the song on
those devices from the cloud without them taking up space. For instance,
after I matched the iTunes library of music on my Mac Pro with iTunes
Match, I was able to delete tens of gigabytes of music from my iPhone
and turn on iTunes Match in Settings. After doing that, I have *much*
more free space available on my iPhone for other things; but I still
have access to all of that music as long as I have network connectivity.
When I play one of my songs on my iPhone, it just streams it from the
cloud to the device. If I want to store some music on the phone, I can
still do that as well. All in all, it's very handy.
