If I reach 10 victory points on my turn but nobody notices, do I still win?

The rulebook's Ending the Game section ties the win to having 10 points on your turn; replies agree, and one dissent calls claiming a matter of etiquette.

Yes. Under the standard rules the win comes from holding 10 or more points during your own turn, whether or not anyone notices, and hidden points still count. Some tournaments require the win to be claimed on the turn, which is not part of the base game.
