Nope, it's the other way around. Apple introduced Target Display Mode back in 2009 and changed it in 2011 (Mid 2011 models and younger only allow other Thunderbolt capable Macs to use the display).

Your 2010 iMac can be used by any other device through DisplayPort so all you need is the appropriate adapter from HDMI to mini-DisplayPort. But beware: There are known issues with HDMI devices and especially non-HDMI devices (display behind an HDMI-to-DVI converter don't work at all or show wrong colors unless you fix this in either the device tree file or in your display by changing color mode from RGB to YPbPr).

In other words: It might not work since the Pine64 (the current drivers) might fail to negotiate with the display.
