No Standard 10% threshold in BCG Matrix
No this is wrong, there is no 10% limit / dividing line / threshold in the BCG matrix. This horizontal line in the diagram is drawn based on the average market growth. So if the brand is growing faster than the market, then it will be in star or question mark category, otherwise it will be under the line in the cash cow or dog section.

Low and high are divided on the basis of the average growth rate of the industry.
Let's say the growth rate of a certain industry is 40%. Then the separator line will come near 20%. Exactly you will have to calculate on the basis of weighted average or return from a product portfolio.
