And Spotify pass these savings onto the artists, right?

In effect, yes. Given that ~70% of revenue goes to rights holders, making the amount of revenue bigger by not paying 30% of subscriptions to Google, the savings are passed on to rights holders.

70% of revenue goes to rights holders.

Thus could mean that 69% of revenues go to rights holders A and B and 1% of revenues are spread between holders C - Z.
