So, just checking.. 90% chance of rain still means there is a 10% chance it wont rain

That's right. There are showers, not rain, so there must be gaps between showers where you won't get wet.
The 10 to 25 mm means there is a 25% chance that you will get less than 10mm rain where you are. Or a 25% chance you will received more than 25mm in a given spot in that area.

Almost, but not quite right.
Forecast 10-25mm means a 50% chance of at least 10mm and a 25% chance of at least 25mm. So there's a 50% chance of receiving 10mm or more and a 25% chance of receiving 25mm or more.
I'm being pedantic because I never knew this was how to interpret the figures, and now I do. Thanks.

Edit; Sorry, when I re-read your post it is also correct. Damn mathematics.
