If you have been married for 2 years or more on the day you enter the US, you will receive a 10 year green card.

No, as long as you have been legally married anywhere for 2 years or more when you enter the US, you will not receive a 2 year green card.  You will receive a 10 year green card by mail a few weeks after you arrive in the US.

yes. that is what he is saying.

 

if you enter the US after october 3, 2018, you will get a 10 year greencard.

On the day you arrive in the USA, if you have been married for 2 years or longer, you will get a 10 year green card a few weeks after arrival.

 

On the day you arrive in the USA, if you have been married for less than 2 years, you will get a 2 year green card a few weeks after arrival.

Yes, you could then apply for 10 year green card 2 years later (can apply for 10 year green card 90 days before 2 year green card expires).

It's actually a short wait.  Yes, after receiving a 2 year green card, documentation would need to be filled out again to get a 10 year green card.  Plus you may or may not need to have another interview.  Plus it will cost another $680.
