Does not this apply to non-revenue generating actions?

In the same paragraph they also say
If you alter or build upon our data, you may distribute the result only under the same license
Does not that mean that if I use the plug-in, then I can only distribute my game under Commons Open Database License (ODbL), i.e. I can not sell it (can not earn money from it)? So I would have to make my game freeware?

This should answer your question -

Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL) Summary — Open Data Commons:...

You can sell games but you need to keep the OSM data open. Same applies to freeware I would assume.

Keep in mind that OSM data does not mean 3D Models, 3D Roads or Terrains it just means the data used by OSM to generate such things.

That is how i translate it. I am also not a lawyer.

Further expanding on it - I have dug into the license and here is what is said about commerical stuff

Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, the Licensor grants to You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, terminable (but only under Section 9) license to Use the Database for the duration of any applicable copyright and Database Rights. These rights explicitly include commercial use, and do not exclude any field of endeavour. To the extent possible in the relevant jurisdiction, these rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or created in the future.

That is from Section 3.0

Edit:

That said - The folks over at BitBunch are using OSM and SRTM data extensively in their custom engine according to their blog - http://bitbunch.eu/dev-blog-5-world-enough/
