Yes, it's referring to streamed, rather than downloaded, content. You won't be able to access streamed content from services such as Amazon Prime or Netflix while you're outside the US.

As far as internet access goes, as Josie says, public WiFi hotspots are comparatively rare in the UK. Pretty much every hotel will have WiFi: it's generally free in small hotels and B&Bs, but you often have to pay in large "chain" hotels. Coffee shops, etc, will generally have free WiFi. What the UK doesn't currently have is the type of free "community" WiFi that many places in the US now have.
