Q: If I have iTunes Match will my music still take up 10 GB of my iCloud space?

If I subscribe to iTunes Match will my music still take up a portion of my iCloud back up the "cloud"? Music and photos did not count when iCloud first came out, but after Jobs passed suddenly it did count. So now I have the 20 GB backup and its almost full. I would like to have iTunes Match, but it would not make a lot of sense if it did not save me some space on my iCloud drive! I don't even have a third of my music imported into my iTunes library or on my iPhone, because I do not have room for it. I have a very large library. If I get the iTunes Match I would want to have access to all my music or at least most of it, but if it still used my iCloud backup space then it would be silly to pay them for iTunes Match then have to pay more for even more storage on the cloud! I hope this make sense!
