An estimated 10 percent of Americans are surfing the net via dial-up

That number would be more informative if they also mentioned how many
of the other 90 percent have broadband and how many have no net access
at all.

I suspect that the survey involved internet users, but don't know for
sure.

I know of a fair number who have net access only through work or
school, not at home. How are they counted?

Possibly not at all, probably as broadband users if they are counted.
