That is correct.

Not yet, nsupdate is a front-end client to create and send a dynamic dns
update packet; DDNS is not yet supported by BIND 10.

As it happens, we are working on that right now, and the current plan is
to have support for it in the next development release. So if all goes
according to plan, there will be a way to use nsupdate in the near
future (if not, it'll definitely be in the next one). We will indeed
have some basic ACL support for that from the start.
