Win10 will be free for Win7 users? Did I read that right?

Yeah for the first year. Then after that you have to pay to upgrade.

Wait, by this do you mean that its basically a one year free trial or do you mean that if you don't redeem your upgrade within a year, you have to pay for it? And does the same apply to windows 8/8.1 Users? And should I even care about Windows 10? What makes it better? (pardon my ignorance)

They explained it poorly during the conference. But from what I understand is that during the first year of its launch it's free to upgrade and you keep it forever. After a year anyone wanting to upgrade will have to pay. The Empire thread would probably know better though. I'm still not completely sure myself.
