Yes, it could be the electric pump. It could also be an air leak in the fuel line anywhere from the tank to the injector pump. It could also be a worn injector pump. I'd disconnect the fuel line at the injector pump (catch whatever comes out) and turn the key to the "start" position and see if I had immediate strong fuel flow. The fuel pump must be wired so that it operates with the key in both the "start" and "run" positions. A leak could cause air to accumulate in the filter too. The reason I suspect a fuel pump problem or an air leak is that the 10 seconds seems about the time it might take to get some fuel flow from the tank to the pump with the lines full of air. It's possible the injector pump is worn too but given that the engine runs fine once started I'd think that's not very likley. Whatever you do, don't resort to anything goofy like ether. That engine should start quickly even in winter and like you said, during warm weather it should fire off with a turn of the key.
