Isn’t this just an additional paid option and the ad option is what everyone already had and everyone outside the EU still has?

That option is still there for me (in addition to the new option to pay) in the Instagram app, in the settings there is an ad settings option which sends you to the website where you can configure that.
The circled setting, the other one is the one at the top of the list

Yup. Basically, you need to enable ads to use the free, ad supported platform.
