Separate Apple IDs on Apple One Family Plan

I am thinking of getting my family on Apple one since my brother and I both use Apple Music and I watch Apple TV from time to time. So my question is, if this is set up, how do separate IDs work for things like a music library and Apple TV library? I don’t want my brother and I to have each other’s music show up on our devices and I don’t want everyone to be forced to be on my account for something like Apple TV. Basically, I wanted to confirm that all family sharing does with apple one is provides the Apple Music and Apple TV subscriptions to everyone I am sharing with, and not the content we are listening/watching.

Each person's account basically remains separate, it's just one person paying for it. The only way it might show what you are listening to or watching is if you end up buying the items instead of just using the streaming version. In that case if another person wants to download it they will find they can do so for free. The way to prevent this is to hide purchases.
