You don't want to <F10> to do this in all of Emacs, so better add it
only to the keymap of LaTeX mode:

(eval-after-load "latex"
  '(define-key LaTeX-mode-map (kbd "<f10>")
     (lambda ()
       (interactive)
       (mapcar 'find-file-noselect (reftex-all-document-files)))))

You could also work with `local-set-key' and execute that every time
`LaTeX-mode-hook' is run.

Also note that the function is marked as being interactive.

If it still does not work, the culprit could be that RefTeX hasn't
parsed the file yet.  In that case try executing `Ref --> Parse Document
--> Entire Document' from the menu.

Other LaTeX editors always open all files of a project?  If they are
anything like common IDEs I highly doubt that.

The rationale for not opening all files at once is that one usually is
only working on certain parts of a document and then the other files are
just distracting.  In Emacs this becomes quite apparent when they are
cluttering the buffer list.
