Hi AgentTBone,
Apple Music is essentially a music streaming service. If you want to listen to music from Apple Music while offline, yes, you need Apple Music.
The other ways to listen to music offline is to sync your own music from a computer with OS X or Windows to your iPhone (see Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer using USB - Apple Support), to purchase new music on iTunes, or to download music you previously purchased on iTunes (see Download your past purchases - Apple Support).
I hope this helps!

I recently purchased some music and all but 1 of them have the little phone thing in the top right. How do I get the little phone?
There is no cloud Icon.
There is a button that says make avaible offline but it doesn't work.
I Didn't have any problem with this before and I've never had apple
music.
Are you using iTunes match?
What happens if you try using the iTunes Store app (not the Music app) to download your past purchases?
Quoting Download your past purchases - Apple Support :
On an iPhone or iPod touch

On an iPad
The song doesn't show up in purchased.
But you purchased it from the iTunes Store using this very Apple ID? Are you certain it's not just hidden?
Hide and unhide iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store purchases - Apple Support
Did you actually purchase this song, tap on the Buy button for a price?
Or did you simply download it from the Apple Music Service?
What exactly did you do?
Do you have the three dots icon next to the song name?
