With DnD maps will we be able to create our own Dungeon maps, or will it be pre made maps only?
You can upload your own maps, as has been the case since it launched
This says to me that Free-Tier won't be able to upload maps:
The core experience will be made available to everyone: If you own a map, module, or adventure on D&D Beyond, you can use it on Maps and invite your friends to play. Period.
Our Master Tier subscription will unlock more customizability for DMs who need it. You’ll be able to upload homebrew maps, custom tokens, and access exciting tools built just for you.
Otherwise "upload homebrew maps" wouldn't be called out as a benefit of the Master Tier Subscription.

so you cant build them here, but transfer them from somewhere else?
Correct. You can upload images or animated images for use as battle maps. The Maps VTT does not (currently) contain a map editor, or even a grid placement tool. (Just a grid alignment tool).
It is. I will try next time without.

Subscribers can upload maps already. From what they said, the Free-Tier will only allow use of purchased D&D Beyond Maps.
This is most likely a limitation of D&D Beyond paying for 10GB storage for each user.

Correct, Maps is a VTT not a map design app/image editor.
