Yes.

No, you didn't get that. The *visa* is valid for 10 years. That does
*not* mean that the person can stay in the US for 10 years.
A person with a valid B2 visa is usually admitted into B2 *status* for
6 months. That can be extended once.
The person can travel with the visa to the US as long as the visa is
valid.
