The "EME-free" build differs only by the default value for the "Play DRM content" checkbox. You can put a normal build in the equivalent state by unchecking the checkbox.

Good to know. I thought it doesn't include and prevent the download of some DRM blobs.

The "Play DRM content" checkbox controls both the EME API and the automatic download and installation of the DRM blob (the Google Widevine CDM). So you are still correct. :)
