Based on your description, you are subject to the 10 year bar because you overstayed your permission over one year. Whether or not when you apply for US visa your overstay would be discovered is a complete story. If you lie on your visa application and if the consulate discovers the lie you will be barred forever from getting a US visa unless you receive fraud waiver. Please consult with immigration lawyer for advise.
