I say yes but don't have my rule books here to confirm it.

You wouldn't be able to confirm it even if you had your rule books available. 
The answer is no. The 10-second count terminates as soon as the ball hits the floor or any player, including opponents, in the frontcourt too. That includes hitting an official in the front court also.
Casebook play 9.8SitB.

If the ball is still in flight? Example: Count is at 9.5/10 I throw the ball from my backcourt to the front court (one of those high arching Joe Montana passes LOL!) and as the official gets to ten he has a 10 second violation. Is he correct?

Well, yeah the official is correct.
But my count was at 9.6, ..... 9.7.
M'bad.
