The '1 hour in Zone 2 with 10 minutes Tempo on flat terrain' means:

Warmup for 10 minutes or so
Ride 30 minutes in zone 2
Do 10 minutes tempo
Ride 20 minutes in zone 2
Cool down for 5 minutes or so

So the one hour is your total workout time. I do my warmup and cool down separately, and you could space it out differently, but that's how I did it.

I've never understood what he means by "tempo."
