all DUIS’s count even from many years ago

If the new DUI in 2012 is the third, the 10-year revocation can be imposed. If the person has already had 2 DUIs before the law was put in place they would be subject to the new sentencing procedure. This is because the third DUI is a separate offense, just aggravated by previous convictions
However if you’re asking whether someone with 3 DUIs now can have their license revoked for 10 years, the answer is no. Ex post facto laws are prohibited by Article I of the constitution.
