the 10 second count also starts when there is a touch on the court and not before? The game clock always starts on the touch inbounds. All accurate?

Not quite. The 10 second backcourt count starts when player/team control is established in bounds in the backcourt. IOW, the player has to do more than touch it. (NFHS, I believe that's different in the NCAA)
