From the Help section:

If I cancel my membership, will I lose access to my online library?
No, when you choose to cancel your membership, you will not lose access to your online library. You may login to your account at anytime and access your Audible content.

That said, I would still download all my books and back them up, just as with ebooks. There is no guarantee that the rules won't change down the road or the publishers won't withdraw their books, Audible go out of business, etc.
In looking for this I also found there are geographic restrictions on audiobooks, which I didn't know before:
Quote:
What are Geographic Restrictions?
When publishers decide to publish a work, they acquire the rights to distribute that title in certain parts of the world (or region). Sometimes they buy "world rights", but frequently the rights for a book are split among several companies, each of whom publish for certain countries. As a distributor, we need to abide by the restrictions that publishers assume when they publish a work.
Why can I see a title when not logged into my account, but it's gone when I log in?
When you are not logged into the web site, you are browsing anonymously. This means that the web site can not determine your geographic location. The titles that are listed are ALL titles that we offer world wide. When you log in with a username and password,the web site can now determine your location, and automatically removes titles that are restricted to that region.
