iTunes Match is different than downloading previously purchased content.
 If you buy anything from iTunes, you can download it as much as you want
to any of your devices (iPhone, iTouch, iPad, Mac's, etc) if you ever
delete it.

iTunes Match is a yearly fee to take any songs you didn't purchase from
Apple and they will "match" them in the cloud for you so you can stream or
download them to any device.  That way you don't have to rip/copy them to
all your computers
