How does the swtor subscription work in steam?

I bought a 30 day subscription for star wars the old republic via Steam, after which I received an email from them (not steam) telling me that they'd charge me every month to renew.

Is that true? Will I automatically be charged through steam? (BioWare doesn't have my CC info)

I thought it was a one-time 30 day buy (since you can even buy more time in one chunk)

For the record I plan on keep subscribing for a while longer but I'm unsure if I should manually buy more time, wait to be charged automatically, or what

The Steam download is just the launcher. It opens up like normal and the launcher then does all the downloading and installing, so SWTOR doesn't take advantage of Steam's speedy cloud servers. It took me 6 hours to fully install through Steam. Some people, especially outside the US, reported much slower.

Is SWTOR subscription a one time purchase?

It's a one time non recurring payment. Go to Account and check the Subscription tab on the left in the list of options. See there if it will bill you again or not. You have 59 days of subscription play time remaining.
