I just signed up for iTunes match. At the moment my iTunes is uploading song by song to apple. Does this mean they are going to keep back up of the uploaded file from my computer?

If I want to get the same music to my iPhone, am I gonna get the exact same file I uploaded or are they gonna give me the matching fie from the iTunes store?
 
Some songs get matched and some don't. The ones that don't get matched get uploaded so yes it will the be same one as on your computer.
 
The bar where you can sort by Artist and Title and what not right click it and select "iCloud Status" and it'll say "Matched" for songs that the service matched and "Uploaded" for songs that it had to upload.
