No - S905 decodes 10bit SDR HEVC/H265 content just fine (Kodi doesn't have a 10bit output rendering path on the platform yet though - so whilst 10 bit is decoded, it is converted to 8 bit for output).
What the S905 doesn't have support for is HDR, but it will play 10bit SDR with no problems at all.
(10 bit video has been in use in pro circles for SDR production since the mid-90s at least. Benefits are reduced banding on saturated blue gradients, less banding on fades to black etc.)
HDR requires 10 or 12 bit video, but not all 10 or 12 bit video is HDR...
