It sounds like you want to know if you can manage the music synced via iCloud Music Library. The following Knowledge Base article proves a good reference for how iCloud Music Library functions:
iCloud Music Library: Understanding differences between Apple Music and iTunes Match
In particular to iCloud Music Library:
Using Apple Music
Your Apple Music membership includes an iCloud Music Library, which allows you to enjoy your entire music library from all of your devices.
When you first join, Apple Music checks your music collection to see which of your songs are also in the Apple Music catalog. It does this by matching against your song’s details (such as name, artist, album). If we have your songs in our catalog, we make them available to access on all of your devices.
When Apple Music adds these matched songs to your iCloud Music Library, Apple Music doesn’t change or alter your original music files that reside in iTunes for Mac or PC or on your iOS devices from which they were added. We make these matched songs available to your other computers or devices in high quality 256 Kbps AAC, and they can be played on them only while your Apple Music membership is active.
In addition, iTunes will upload to your iCloud Music Library those songs that we can’t find in our catalog, to make them available to you on all of your other devices.

If you'd like to be able to manage the music available on your iPhone, the following article will provide the instructions for doing that:
Move content from iTunes on your computer to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
By default, iTunes manages the content of your iTunes library (including your music, TV shows, movies, and more) manually, which gives you control over the content you want to take with you on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than can fit on your device.
If you're a member of Apple Music or have an iTunes Match subscription, you have iCloud Music Library turned on. When you have iCloud Music Library turned on, you can't manually manage music. You can still manage videos using the steps below.
Manually add items to your device
- Connect your device to your computer.
- Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
- Choose the content that you want to add to your device from your iTunes library.

- Drag the content to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. A panel should appear. Locate your device.

If you're using an iPhone, you can only add music or video from a single iTunes Library.
If you're using an iPad or iPod, you can add music from multiple iTunes Libraries, but video from only one iTunes Library.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Kind Regards.
