So, what I'm understanding is that because it is called an F250, the most GVWR that will be on the sticker is 10000 lbs,, even if it had a greater capacity than that, right?

You are right that the F250 and F350 srw trucks are the same if the F250 was ordered with the towing package. If not the only difference is an extra single overload spring and taller lift block on the rear axle.
If you stay with a light 5th wheel with a pin weight around 2000lbs you may not need anything extra and have no problems at all. My F250 towed great with 2350lbs pin but I added air bags just to level it out about 1.5"
