It will run it if the scheduler is called before 10am according to the docs - at runtime the conditions must be met.

Right but what if it already ran? Should the jobs be written such that they are tolerant to re-runs?

I think that regardless of the scheduling tool, it is very worthwhile putting in the effort to make your tasks idempotent. I've had tons of cases when I had to repeatedly rerun failed tasks "in anger", and was always grateful to know I made it safe to do so.
