Actually, I'm confused by G03, G04, and G05. G03 says the match "ends" when the timer reads zero, G04 give the points awarded at the "conclusion" of the match, and G05 says scoring happens up to 10 seconds after the timer reads zero.

Can the robot continue operating (autonomously) during those 10 seconds and earn points or not? Sorry, but I'm new to FRC ...

I'm starting to think the only point of the 10 second extension is to lose points if you fall off the tower.

After the timer reaches 0 all robots (auto or teleop) must stop. The ten seconds says if a ball is rolling towards a goal but time runs out before it enters the goal that the ball has ten seconds to make it in. So if you do a long shot with 1 sec left it still will count since it will take over a sec to make it in. Hope this helps.
