This will be a permanent feature. Now the specific details are still not clear. I am not sure if it will just be a subscription service like Spotify, or you will also be able to play your own personal music and the free stations offered by Apple Music. Now I would assume that if you are already an Apple Music subscriber, then you should be fine and be able to access it without a problem.
