z10's were available quite awhile before z/VM 6.1.0 was. I'd find it hard to
believe that the z/VM lab didn't have a real z10 to test 6.1.0 on. I suspect
there was a time when they emulated a z10 on a z9, but to my knowledge, IBM
doesn't make that software available to customers.

It's certainly hard to believe that IBM built the hardware and software for a
z10 *without* fist emulating both in a virtual environment! After all, that's
what gave VM a renewed life when they tried to kill it... MVS had to have it to
test new releases.
But, of course, perhaps the necessary configuration wasn't 'ready for prime
time' :-)
