The above seems to indicate that the head unit connects with apple directly via wifi if using CarPlay and therefore allows for the full advantage of lossless playback.
Suppose this also means that a wifi subscription is needed in order to effect this.
Am I reading and digesting the above accurately?

The opposite in terms of the wifi subscription. If you are using the wifi subscription the router in the car will actually take the SSID away from Apple Carplay. Apple Carplay will take over the router to establish an internal network to the car, so it's free.
