I might just use it as is with the regulator with 10.7v. That being said, am I correct in assuming that I will have a constant 10.7v as long as the battery can output at least 10.7v?

The voltage drop is higher with the regulator because its own impedance is high.
It may be designed to operate in lower power circuits. You are correct in your assumption though.
